| Thanks, Sky. The wheel picture was taken by one of the gentlemen who care for 4932 out in Maine. By the way, the wheel(s) came from Guillow's. No bill. That was nice, but they were the wrong size, so I made one. |

Progress report, I guess. Plane and floats are getting done separately.Then the cables and bracing can be added. Think I'm going to skip the float rivets. |

| Fantastic detailing Mr. Don. Very good attention to the details. Wish I had a vertical lathe, but I'll vicariously enjoy yours until then. By the way, excellent close up of the wheel of the real float to the DHC-2. |

The result. 1/4" dowel on Ohurst bearing. |

shaping spinner on my "vertical lathe". |

| These taste the same, except that the drumsticks and thighs are as tough as a rubber tire. The one displaying in the back is the old tom and the others are last year's hatch. Typical teenagers, got to prove who's toughest. |

| The only time I've ever seen turkeys that close was at Safeway. |

Never seen a turkey fight before. |

| Sky-The stuff I used is from Plastruct. This is L or V shaped. I put it open end down,sanded lightly towards leading edge and more heavily at the trailing edge to make it uniform. Hope this helps. |

DD, the wheel is 7/16, but it's not a normal one - flat sides and tread with a raised tread on the edge. I think the supplied tailwheel with 1/16 balsa on eachside will give the desired appearance. If it works I'll need one more tailwheel. Thanks for asking. |

| Agree with Poppy! What size wheels do you need? |
| Don C, Comment for image # 35581 | 11 Feb 16 10:21 |
| Since they will be glued in the "up" position it seemed like a waste of time, but to make them look right they need to be built that way. My arthritic fingers thank you for the kind words. |

| Forgot to also compliment you on your decision to try the pulley route. That's great...!! |

| Nice bit of engineering there!! |

| Looks great. At that small scale, they'll look metal and professional. You saved time and money and did a great job. |

| That's beautiful Don. Congratulations!! I know it's not easy working with small pieces of plastic and good. You've done a remarkable job and shows your level of attention to detail. Job well done, "Mr." Don! |

| You rate a toddy after that. Looks good! |

My pin vise. |

They actually work! Success! Time for a celebratory toddy. |

Gear pulleys. Paper punch, card stock and 1-16th balsa. |
