Subject: | steel " jenny style" straight axle gear |
Paul-I've seen many of the WWI type replicas with either steel tube (stream
lined) or aluminum for the Jenny
style gear legs instead of wood.
I have seen a few metal streamlined gear legs which were painted to look li
ke wood grain too and boy, what a fooler.
I was convinced they were wood gear legs from about 10 feet away. Can't s
eem to find any photos of that example but
it is one other option besides the wood gear legs.

I sent it to your email. Let me know if you got it OK. It looks to be the correct
size when I sent it to you. I don't understand why it is so big when posted
to this forum.

Subject: | Re: steel " jenny style" straight axle gear |
thats great Mike. those pics definitely helped. but still trying to find a thickness
of 4130 round tubing that would do the trick without being too heavy. I
think Ill weld it together similar to that pic but make it look more like the
Piet version. i'm going for a vintage piet racer look with wide streamlining
of struts (imagine Bernard had a skunkworks division. LOL) and have come up
with a way to make little half ribs on both sides then cover it with my 1/16 ply.
hopefully someone has already done it, otherwise ill just use the same gauge
as the split axle version.

Subject: | Re: steel " jenny style" straight axle gear |
Hi Paul,
The gear on my plane is copied from a Thomas Morse Scout. It has a full floating
axle which means the axle is free to move from side to side and it can rotate.
It has rotated several times when a wheel runs dry on grease. I don't have
wheel bearings, just brass bushings in the wheels. If you are planning on
using brakes there is an easy solution to stop the axle from rotating. Just slip
a square piece of tubing over the axle and secure it to the axle. I guess
you could either weld or bolt it into place. I will attach some pics for you
to look at. I would need to go to the airport and measure the tubing since I
don't remember the dimensions. I won't be able to get out there for about a
week. Please keep in mind that the attached pics don't show the two sets of cross
wires.
Let me know what else you need so I can help you out.

Thanks Scott. If youve got the wall thickness too, that would be great.

Never heard of steam punk before. Just googled it. Pretty cool but I probably pissed
off enough people already.

Subject: | Re: Well, I goofed up. How much trouble am I in? |
Just want to thank you both for the input. Initially I panicked, just need some
rational thinking. I did bevel the beams I don't think it robbed much strength.
Also I am using fir which is slightly stronger. Those bevels(I also slightly rounded
them) actually give things a more streamlined look. The problem is now everyone
knows it was a mistake. DOH! Thanks again.
Kyle

Negative ghostrider...
Many of these are rounded over. Furthermore, the gap closing, when you need the
authority the most, increases efficiency at THAT point. Call it deliberate.
Or, in the real world, NO ONE will notice but you anyway anyway!
