				I suppose I've been watching "The Spirit of St. Louis" too much lately (we don't have cable, satellite or antenna, just a DVD collection) but looking at the old Jennies in the movie got me thinking about putting spoked motorcycle wheels on the main gear of my Mk III. Anybody tried this? Have pictures?

				Right off the top of my head, would be one way to  get the mkIII in a decent 3 pt stance by raising the nose with tall skinny spoke  wheels.

  Rick, 
   
     It definitely would look different. I can't recall the specific makes, but I remember years ago there a couple of ultralights that used
  spoked wheels.  (a Robertson B1RD comes to mind.   ???) 
 
    Would putting spoked wheels on a Kolb really make it look like an aiplane of yester-year?  I'm not sure.
   
    Here's a candidate I found on eBay.  The rear wheels would be the ones that are spoked;

				This discussion brings back memories from the 60’s when I was in the army.  A friend was relating story about when he and his brother built a go kart with an old Briggs engine and wire spoke motorcycle wheels.  Said it went great for awhile, but the first time he tried to negotiate a hard corner, things came apart.  He opened his shirt to show the scars where spokes penetrated his chest.  
 
 Seems that most motorcycle wheels are not designed to take side loads.  Motorcycles lean into a turn and except for a trike, very little side force is encountered.  If you look at front view plans for WWI aircraft, you will see wire spoke wheels with WIDE hubs that better withstand side loading.

 I wouldn't bet my retirement check on the above statement.
 
 There are tremendous side loads on any spoke wheel, whether it be auto, 
 motorcycle, mountain bike, or antique airplane.  Heck, I put side loads on 
 my wheel chair.....

 Decent three point stance? For those of us with short wide wives, the MKIII with it's short wide stance is ideal just like it is. If I raise it any, she'll have to bring along a step stool! <grin>

				Perhaps you guys are too young to remember when the mark of a sports car was a set of wire wheels. I know from experience that the wire wheels on the Sunbeam Alpine I drove in high school handled side loads quite nicely. I'm pretty sure the two cars pictured handled side loads just fine, too. Besides that, what are you guys doing with your Kolbs? Drifting?

  Notice, it also has dual controls.
   
  I like the wire wheels and fenders.  Makes it  look very distinctive.

				Ok guys, I have never seen a Kolb that didn't have more than enough drag.
 
 Which one of these has the LEAST aerodynamic drag?

 I suppose I've been watching "The Spirit of St. Louis" too much lately (we don't have cable, satellite or antenna, just a DVD collection) but looking at the old Jennies in the movie got me thinking about putting spoked motorcycle wheels on the main gear of my Mk III. Anybody tried this? Have pictures?

				Gene,
 
 I get the daily digest email and your photos did not show up there. Of course they are visible in the Forum view. Don't know if they show up if you get individual emails from the list.

				Gene,  They came through fine for me. As to which has less drag it is a good 
 question for the Myth Busters.
