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

[Ronald Van Putte]

It may be that I just don't like wheel pants and more likely, that I want to "swim upstream" against common procedure just to irritate some people.  It seems to be working.

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
