Subject: Pietenpol-List: double nickel Hey guys,One of you said it best. Age is in the mind. I tell people I'm a 39year old man trapped in a 64 year old body. As long as there is thewill (& physical health permits) one can build a plane and fly.This week I put the tail feather hinges on and clamped it all to thePiet fuselage tail. Wow! What inspiration that is to progress. I'vebeen flying for 30 years but creating a plane with one's own two handsis a blast.For all you guys that brought your Piets to Brodhead-----thanks much. Iflew my Skyhawk there Saturday to spend the day and enjoyed the fly-inimmensely. Flew home that evening going around a couple rain storms.Got many questions answered there and met new friends.Here's another question: I'm building the Jenny style landing gear. IfI use motorcycle wheels, which brand/size is most recommended for usewith disc brakes? Any help would be appreciated.Arden AdamsonWaupaca, WI________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: double nickel ArdenThere is a wide variety of opinions on motorcycle wheels. Generally between 19" & 21". I had my Piet at Brodhead, I like my 21" Harley wheels and rotors. The Go Kart calipers are coming off this winter and getting replaced with Harley also.Some go with Yahama or Honda rims and have Buchanans in Calif. lace the spokes. They willl spread the hubs to 6" to spread the load. I'll let others weigh in on their wheels.Mine weigh in at about 60 lb. including wheel, tires, brakes and axle.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----

Clif Make as many mistakes as you can. Learn from them. How else are you going to become a person of value? Hey guys, One of you said it best. Age is in the mind. I tell people I'm a 39 year old man trapped in a 64 year old body. As long as there is the will (& physical health permits) one can build a plane and fly.
