[NSRCA-discussion] AMA Article on Wayne's Wheel Pants

[John Pavlick]

I use Wayne's method (found the original info on Bob's site when it was up)
with one minor change: I found some machine screws with a large head at Home
Depot. I think they're called "truss-head" screws. Yes they are slightly
heavier (not much I think it's only about 1~2 grams) than a standard
pan-head screw but I like the idea of having more surface area in that area
especially when attaching to carbon-fiber gear legs. I use this method on
all of my Pattern planes now. Haven't had a failure yet although my planes
are by no means "overweight". LOL

Thanks, Wayne/Don....I remember how much I was impressed with that setup,
Wayne.  Used it several times after; my overweight birds benefited from the
8-32, but the 6-32 sure worked too.  That was one clever setup, Wayne!  Hard
to believe it was almost NINE years ago.

I appreciate your remembering my drawing and page; those were good days!

Thanks Don,

 

I actually used a 6/32 bolt on my wheel pants. 8/32 is stronger but I never
had a failure of the 6/32

 

This drawing and description was done by Bob Pastorello after I showed him
my method at the contest in Temple that year.

Bobs website has been down for awhile and he always had useful information
on there.

The reference in the RC Aerobatics column in the latest AMA Magazine about
Wayne's Wheel Pant Wizardry refers to Wayne Galligan's method of mounting.
