| LASTWOODSMAN | Scratch Built Curtiss Pusher | Parked | 27-Jan-17 15:22 |  | | Views : 273 | | This will be an "Assymetrical Dish" 16 wooden spoke wheel. This is the shallower angle of the "Felloe" holes in the wheel rim to provide the "shallower" dish side of the wheel. I used an 8.6 mm spacer under the hub to raise the hub to the correct level, slid on the hub, sllid a 1/8 " location pressure holding support tube on top of the hub with a small square balsa pressure plate on top of that to make everything secure. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Scratch Built Curtiss Pusher | Parked | 27-Jan-17 10:16 |  | | Views : 289 | | The 16 spoke wooden wheel is "laid out." The aluminum sleeve bearing is sized and cut, and the Hub and Toothpic Spokes are stained and ready. Now the hard part - drilling the "Felloe" holes in the rim into the same line as the "Moritse" female end holes in the hub, to take the "Tenon" male end point of the toothpic. |
