Do you think you could get close enough by calibrating it yourself? If it's
for use on your Piet, you could suspend a known weight from a piece of 3/32
cable, to produce a known tension in the cable. My problem is I don't know
anything about the required tensions in the various cables in the Piet. I have
just
finished my wing panels and I guessed at the tension......Any
suggestions?....Carl V.

Carl,
No intention to barge in a discussion:
On the subject of cable tensions I asked for and received next to nil when I
started to complete my wings soooooooo I turned buckles, measured, turned
buckles, measured some more until I thought they were tight enough to hold the
thing in shape then I proceded to tune the cables as you would the strings on a
bull fiddle or a Fender. I used the same procedure for the cabanne cables as
well as the wing strut cables. It equalizes the tension more accurately than
could ever be done with a tool. Couldn't use the same technic on the tail feather
cables as they are 1/16 and the pitch would be too high for my hearing range
as my highs went with WWII.
Try it, it might work for you.

Sorry,
I forgot to add that the sounds should be the same only on the cables of
similiar lengths.
Corky, beginning to not remember everything.

Got to ride in the Orange Ford Piet - very cool...

Pieters,
Am at the point of decision as to whether I go with a single nose tank, not
as yet fabricated, or a nose and c/s tank. The wing tank has a capacity of 9.3
gals and/ or the nose tank could be 10 gals w/ c/s tank or 16 gal without the
c/s tank.
There are positives and negatives either way.
If both tanks are available, use the wing tank with a passenger. When solo
use only the nose tank. There are many other factors I'm sure but I would
appreciate some noise on this subject as decision time is now.
If both tanks are available I could almost fly from La to see the fisherman.

Corky,
Since I used to fly U/L's with always keeping an eye on the 5 gallons, with
this Piet I put a 10 gal center section tank, and a 14 gallon nose tank.
Went to the 100LL gas guy the other day and it cost $45.00 to top up.
Whew!! Oh well, I know they are there, even though I don't have to fill
them.
I may be able to reach the fisherman from Northern NJ!!!!!

Corky...Your finger twanging tensiometer system sounds great, but does it
still work when the wires are touching at the mid-point (or the 'button'
spacers).
and gee, Walt and Corky...Do you REALLY want to see the Fisherman? Don

Just pull the other cable out of the way so the cable will vibrate it's full
amplitude.

Of course Corky. Boy, I didn't think THAT one out !! Guess I'll pull the
"buttons" off and try your method. Thanks Don

We've got a spider who has been building a web on the front door of our
house for about a week and a half now. It's not just tied to the front
door, it is built around the front door handle as if he is trying to make it
unusable.
I don't know that I have the guts to kill him, ya know, anybody with that
level of optimism and tenacity . . . like he is really going to entrap two
adult humans. Kind of reminds you of a Piet builder, don't it?
What do you guys think, thumbs up or down?????

Corky,
I got to check out Michael Cuy's beautiful machine with the nose tank
and storage in the center section at Brodhead. That center section
holds a lot of stuff, and he doesn't seem to have endurance issues with
the nose tank (though I did not talk to him about that). I like the
thought of being able to hold charts/laptop/toothpaste, etc., up there
out of the way, and the nose tank probably helps out with CG issues.
Speaking of M. Cuy, he has got a killer smoke system. Absolutely
killer. And ingeniously simple. I want one for my car...
