Pietenpol-List: Covered Wheel Crosswind Loading?

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Covered Wheel Crosswind Loading?Does anyone have any info on what additional loading is placed on an Aircamper when spoked wheels are fabric covered? I like the streamling effect inforward movement but It seems that covering two-each large diameter wheels at such a low spot in the profile could change the landing charateristics in crosswinds and make negotiating gusting winds a new experience.Thanks,Roy________________________________________________________________________________
