Need info on Hippert's wheels

11 February 2005, 09:08 AM

We have got conflicting info on what is on the covering on the wheels of Hippert's DVII. I think Dan-San has crosses on the wheels and I have seen other paintings showing Diamonds. Anybody like to take a shot on this one? Not to offend you Dan-San just getting the correct facts.

Buck
p.s. news pics should be posted this weekend

Buck don't count on what the other guys have., first of all they all have it wrong. The information on Hipperts machine originated with me. i sent the drawing to Greg Van Wyngarden. Greg published it in the Fokker Anthogy book and others have copied the drawing and attributed the information to Dave Roberts. BS!
What's on the wheels. At 12 and 6 o'clock a latin cross 100mm vertically and 80mm horizontally, width of the bar 12mm. At 3:00 and 9:00 o'clock a six pointed star 100 mmin diameter. Both are painted in black. It is not the Star of David, it is a six pointed star with sharply pointed rays.
Look real close Buck and that is what you will see on my drawing. You will need a glass.
Can't wait to see it finished.
Blue skies,

The vertical arm on the Latin cross points to the hub. Buck you are welcome, glad to be of help.
