Yep, good idea. I edited my post prior to your reply because I'm really not 100% sure on the finish,but... I am an 82nd Airborne Division veteran and to me, everything looksbetter in OD Green. Besides, how can I strafe trains and supply routes withan observer paint scheme? Ok, ok... just kidding.--------Mark - working on wingsRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Take a look at Ty Daniels wheels on his Pietenpol. I believe he used ATV tiresand rims. Typically, the knobs are cut off and the tire sanded smooth. Soundslike a lot of work but looks really good.http://www.westcoastpiet.com/new_page_54.htmI think there was a drawing of an adapter plate for ATV rims in one of the oldBPA newsletters. I will try to dig it out tonight and scan it. Chris--------Chris TracySacramento, CAWestCoastPiet.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I scanned the drawing for the adapter plates that was in the old BPA newsletter. It is for wheel rims that came on the Kitfox not ATV rims. I tried looking up the company in the article and they don't seem to be in business anymore. I bet you could figure something out like this for ATV wheels or other rims. The other interesting par of the article is the weight of his landing gear, 17.6 pounds. That is the finished weight for one side including the V's. Wow! Just one of my wheels weigh 18 pounds and that does not include the wood or axel. If you want to save weight go with the steel gear.ChrisSacramento, CAWestCoastPiet.com----- Original Message -----
