Hi Mario,I don't know about ball bearings for an axle application. I'm not sure howwell they would react to side loading. Most people use bronze bushings. Iused tapered roller bearings on mine and they have worked well. You can buythem from McMaster-Carrr:http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-ball- ... gs/=jn8lp0 Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia-----Original Message-----

Dan,Yes, that is the prop brother Tim carved out of mahogany planks while in college.I am ever amazed and humbled by his craftsmanship. Hard to think we are ofthe same genes. One thing of note for those with sharp eyeballs. Even though this is a GN-1, Ihave changed the strut and wing attach to be Pietenpol so I can translate thewing for CG purposes. I also made the CS 6" wider after visiting with Skip Gaddand his project. I need a wider flop in order to help get my fat a$$ in andout.--------David GallagherZodiac 601 XL-B: flying, 220+ hours nowNext project under construction: Finish my father's AircamperRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Ball or bronze bearings in wheels?
