Here is my brake set up. The brake line goes thru the floor and tees to each caliper.
Works very good, but the caliper is a bit undersized and will only hold
to about 1400 rpm with the A-65.
If you want to see the caliper set up, I can send more detail off line.

. With a steerable tailwheel I havent had the need for individual brakes.
Dick,
I'm also going to put a single master cylinder with a hand lever to operate
both brakes in my Piet but haven't figured out how to do it yet. Could
you post a picture of your brake system?
Thanks,
Sam

Dick,
Thanks for posting the picture of your brake system. I have a master cylinder
with a built in reservoir so I won;t need a separate one. I may place the
handlever on the left side instead of the right as you have yours.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Burl wood for panel
There's an outfit that goes by the name of CONSTANTINES that I bought some burhl
from to rework the dash of an old Jaguar. I was very satisfied with what I
got...paper thin but sufficient. If you have trouble getting to them with what
little I've given you, contact me off line...You have my email address...Carl
Vought
Can anyone recommend a good source for burl wood for the instrument panel? I
saw a great example of this at Oshkosh last summer and it really made the cockpit
standout.

I put mine on the right because the throttle is on the left. Dont want to reach
for one and hit the other.

Can anyone advise me on a good source for a brake master cylinder suitable for
a Piet? Thanks to everyone for the informative postings and images. I really
enjoy this group.

Bert: thanks very much. I'm a volunteer for an air museum, working on constructing
an Air Camper. I'll review these pics with the boss on Wednesday. We never
thought of go-cart brakes, but it sounds like a great idea. Thanks very
much for your input, and for yourr great web-site.
Your plane sure looks like a beauty. I clicked on the "what's a GN-1" link, but
didn't look like any info came up. So, what is a GN-1, as compared to an Air
Camper, anyway?
Thanks, and best regards,
John Smoyer

I think I've figured out what my wood is.
It has all the characteristics of the catalpa
that I have used for carving in the past. I've
still got a fair bit left. The reddish veneer
I'm not sure of still.
