Dick,
I made my aileron cable system with a total of 7 separate cables. Two in
each wing, plus two short cables going from the control stick torque tube
through the centersection, plus a separate cable through the centersection
for the return cable. Yours may vary. Mine was made more complicated by
the avionics in the centersection, which restricts access somewhat.
If you are planning on unbolting the centersection pulleys to pass a cable
through, you need to have the pulley bolts fastened with nutplates so you
can get the bolts in and out (at least on mine, with a fuel tank just
forward of the centersection spar).
Put a couple more hours on mine this weekend - up to about 5 hours on it
now. Wonderful fun, flying an open cockpit airplane on a crisp fall day.
As Walt Evans says, "Ain't life GRAND!"

Subject: Pietenpol-List: 3 piece wing
I was just looking over 3 pc plan and wondering, how do you lead the aileron
cable through the turning pulley and attach the wing? To clarify, the
swedge turnbuckle end are too large to fit thru the pulley. Do you have to
unbolt the pulley or is it typical to add a linkage at the wing side? I
don't see anything on the plan about this.

Unbolting the pulleys is how we handled this issue. Access panels were built into
the underside of the center section, aft of the rear spar to reach this area.
Another good reason to build a one-piece wing.......

I have a one piece wing on mine, it's a lot to handle in mounting. Thats why I'm
doing a 3 piece this time.
Something like what Jack suggests with seperate sections is the way I'll go.

Dick,
I used Mike Cuy's advice, and don't regret it. Just marked each cable end and
left it rolled up in the root of the wing. After installing wings for the final
assy, simply measure the cables and install eyes and bolt up. This included
the turnbuckle in the overhead, and both cables comming down to the torque
tube. This allowed for smaller holes in the cowl, and if I ever had to dissassemble,
just cut the cables near the eyes and add more eyes later to reattach.
Yes, Life IS grand!!

Walt--- glad things worked out for you w/ the 3 pce wing rigging/cable set
up. Here is a chicken-scratch sketch I drew
up a few years back. Nothing fancy. I figure that if I ever ding a
wing or have to take the wings off I'll just cut the cables
and either add more cable or just re-string new cables. (used 3/32" diam.
cables)

Have you ever done this? If not, I predict that after you get over the

Mike,
Exactly what I did after talking to you. Great to get outside advise when
I'm starting to go on a tangent. If someday I have to take off the wings,
It would only take me an hour tops to reassemble on the next site.
