Wheel spokes are laced in using fish line monofilament. Diameter and test unknown found in very old tackle box. After the lacing, a heat gun was briefly applied. This cause all spokes to contract and tighten. Super strong and tight wheel.

Lookee, lookee, lookee, what arrived today. The Winsock reference booklet, with great razor sharp B+W photos, information about the evolution and design of the aero-plane. Complete with the terminology that was standard practice way back when. Worth every penny of the purchase price.

The best feature of this manual is a reason not to limit Ogre’s paint color to RAF ( Royal Aircraft Factory) green!!

Nothing much going on here today, winter and its wind returned, I had my ears lowered by Angelo, and the Gumster trued and balanced Ogre’s wheels!

Brian, This photo was taken in Magnitogorsk Russia 25 years ago. Magnitogorsk is located on the Ural River. This river is the start of siberia and marks the boundry between Euope and Asia. Magnitogorsk and its 22 square mile steel plant was too far into Russia for the German bombers during WW2. Many T-34 tanks were fabricated there. The Russians a big on monuments, especially tanks. I do not believe that this is a T-34. As I have previously stated, I have been in and around a T-34. I just have to located those photos
