I lost a wheel colar on my goldberg piper cub 60 this weekend, anyone have an idea what size it is?

Goldberg doesn't make a 60 size cub.

But if you mean the Goldberg Anniversary Cub, it's a 5/23" collar

Do you mean 5/32" collar?

http://www.carlgoldbergproducts.com/.../gbga1063.html is a 40-61 size plane. IMO that would include "60".

If you measure the idameter of the axel, that will give you a clue.

I can't testify to the size but I just looked through the instruction manual.
On page 24, although it doesn't state the size of the wheel collar, it does say to drill the wheel with a 3/16" bit.

You can also ask the manufacturer

I'll just have to wait on ordering till I get home to measure. Thanks for the help

Most guys keep a couple of spare 5/32" collars in their part box anyway because their use is so common. Also don't want to be grounded if one falls off or strips. Done that before. Much like keeping a spare prop with you always.

File a flat where the set screw lands, drop of blue locktite, allen wrench with sharp corners...done deal!

When all the other methods fail this one will work and you will never loose a wheel agine:

Now THATS a soldering iron!!!

300 watts from Vultee aircraft 1940 that my dad used. Its a racing iron because it makes the meter spin like a pylon plane in heat.

You don,t need that much horsepower though a good 160 or better iron with a heavy tip and use acid core solder not Rosin core. works on 5/32 axles.

Rather than just filing/grinding a flat as "safeTwire" suggested, make it a groove (a flat with two sides. The set screw, with Blue Loctite) is LIGHTLY tightend into the groove. The coller will never fall off, and since you did not hurt the setscrew hex socket, you will always be able to remove the setscrew.

That's what I call a 7-day iron. After heating to temp, it takes 7-days to cool down.

As Mick Dundee would say: Naw that ain't an iron -- THIS is an iron
