Skip,Thought those hills in pic background looked familiar, I was born and raised, (til the Army got me '65) in Paden City WV. One of my Piete builder buddies comes back to WV each year for 4 July, gonna e-forward your pic and notes on Hales Landing to him, maybe he'll have chance to stop by and admire your work next summer. He's currently living in FL, he and another homebuilder originally from Wheeling wanted to team fly my Piete and an Aeronca up to WV last summer for 4th, maybe next summer. Gooooo Eeerrs!Gordon ----- Original Message -----

Skip,You're right, snowflake is a "technical" term for the cast aluminum wheel that BMW used on its '70s and '80s air-cooled motorcycles. I guess it reminded someone of a snowflake.It does make a really interesting Piet wheel and Dave's, being sidecar wheels, defeat the argument that motorcycle wheels can't take side loads.Mike ----- Original Message -----
