 Hey Bob. That was worth telling it twice. Yes it's that bad Bob. You know how they have topless beaches? Maybe they should have old fugly guy beaches too. One's with big warning signs that pattern fliers who don't have wheel pants and guys like you are scary and may be harmful to your well being.
 Keith you wear a speedo while flying when I'm judging and I promise it won't effect your score. Hahahahahaha!!!! Thanks for that, Mike

Is there something wrong with that look? I think you just described me.

A pattern plane without wheel pants looks as bad as a fat old man at the beach with a tight speedo on. Add on some black shoes and socks for a better visual. It's not right.
 But hey you all should do whatever makes you happy.  Have a nice day, Mike

I just stopped using wheel pants.  Less weight.  Less complexity.  Less hangar rash.  Still haven’t found a downside . . .

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.  To see his sketch visit the building page on
