A 2nd weld fillet is just a option. BTW, the head end of the spokes have a taper from the underside of the head to the spoke shaft diameter. You should match this when drilling your hub flange for the spoke to set correctly. REF to drawing attached: countersink the 20X 0.157" holes on the outside of the hub assembly.

Corky built and flew 41CC at the spry age of about 80 years old, then sold it to me in 2004. As near as I can tell, the airplane was started by one builder before eventually being completed and test-flown by Corky and now owned by me. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power, 72x36 Culver prop Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=459162#459162 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:13:57 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: wire wheel hub question From: "nightmare" Thankyou.

Something I did to help the spokes align easier with the wheel and not bind on a straight sided hub. I am a farm boy and John Deere makes a disk harrow for years using spool between the cutting blades, on each end of the spool the outside portion is a concave shape plate that can be cut off and used for the hub plate . Works well for the hub and the steel is tougher than hell .

That is so cool for me to learn that Jack Cox's article in the 1999 issue of Sport Aviation inspired you to want to build a Pietenpol!! And I did not realize you are a fellow Ohioan until we talked a few years ago at Brodhead. I am really glad to know that you have not given up your dream but are pursuing your project year by year and eventually there will come a day when all your construction efforts will take flight. Very awesome! On Aug 1, 2016 10:36 AM, "bdewenter" wrote: Mike, Seeing your Piet featured in an EAA recap of Air venture ?98 or 99? - When I saw your plane I said, "I have to have one of those!" It was years later when I learned you had received the Bronze Lindy. Here it is 2016 and I've been building since 2011! You are to blame for getting me hooked on this, but all 'blame' is on me starting out on this awesome journey. I am enjoying every step. Thank you Mike!
