    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Gary Gower <ggower_99@yahoo.com> Sorry, I never hread of a straight six. His first converted engine was a Ford Fiesta, then he build one with the Ford Escort, improved with a built spindle for the prop reduction. I was in touch with him for several years, I will try to get in touch with him... Will be interesting what new projects he has. His wife is (Was?) very active in Canadian Ultralight regulations.

    Subject: Bell Crank
    From: cat_designs@juno.com
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: cat_designs@juno.com What size tubing have people used on the bell crank for the elevators. Round ? Streamlined like the plans show? or made up from two pieces like the control horns?? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. I bought some streamlined tubing from Aircraft Spruce and it sure feels too heavy. Chris Sacramento, CA The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Did you flatten the ends on it for use on the bell crank. The plans show you should flatten the ends. The streamlined tubing I have is 1.685 x 0.714 0.049 thickness. Is this to big? or does the geometry of the control cables (two into one attachment point)require this much strength? Speaking of flattened ends, when you pinch the ends for the rudder bar and the bell crank do you need to weld the ends closed after you flatten them?
