My copy made it across the 2,067 miles from Brodhead to Oregon last week. Great
articles and information, but the cover photo alone was worth it. Prospective
Air Camper builders and pilots would do well to study that photo in detail,
as it captures the airplane's classic lines and geometry and is crisp enough
to answer a lot of questions about building details. The fact that the photo
was taken in flight tells a bit about what size the cockpit is and how tall the
windscreens should be, but best of all it conveys the Piet flying experience
as well as a photo can. You can look at the Ford engine and mentally set the
airplane at the airspeed it's going and the engine at the RPM it's turning and
you're there.

Subject: | Re: Heim bearings for landing gear struts. |
Steve,
Let me give you the measurements as seen in the picture above -
The space between the plates that the bearing sits in is approximately 0.75 inch.
The diameter of the bolt going through the bearing and both plates is 0.375
inch. The threads on the shank of the bearing are, I am guessing, 0.875 as the
inner diameter of the 1.00 inch tubing with 0.83 wall thickness is 0.834 inch.
Let me know if I need t measure anything else.

Look at the pictures below and these measurements, hopefully, will make sense -
The die spring "can" is made of 2.25 inch diameter tubing.
The die spring rod is 1" in diameter.
The various metal plates are 0.125 thick
The diagonal tubing above the plate in the center top of the gear is 0.75 in diamter.
The streamlne tubing between these two tubes is approximately 1.5 inches
in depth.
The gear legs - the front tubes are 1.25 in diameter, and the rear tubes are 1.125
in diameter.
The bolt at the top of gear legs is, I believe an AN4, and the bolt down by the
axle is an AN6
I hope that all this is useful. Oh, and the aircraft attitude is about 12.
