Pietenpol-List: Straight Axle question for Pioneers

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: Rcaprd(at)aol.com
Just wanted a field report before I order my axle material. I am buildingthe wooden straight axle version. The plans call for 12 gage (.11) x 1.5".Is this what you used? And, if so, are there any regrets? I remember SteveE reporting that he had landing gear buckeling because of too thin oftubing. Just wanted a PIREP if there were any.Thanks,Ted BrousseauWorking like crazy and jealous of Walt flying his hours off.________________________________________________________________________________
