Subject: | Re: Bellcrank question |
Each pin and clevis has it's own job to do distinct from
all the others. Any one breaks and it's doo-doo time.
The rear cables are doubled on one clevis on the plans
thus 4 holes. Using two would mean opening up two
of the clevis( clevie?) to go outside the others. This would
mean a longer pin, increasing bending loads on it. This in
turn leads to the necessity of a larger pin which means
a larger clevis which might be too big for the cable loop,
heavier also.

If we think a moment: there are 4 cables going back as the elevators
are separate each side so 2 for the top and 2 for the bottom, then
of course there are 2 cables going forward to the stick, and then you
might have 2 cables going forward for trim if you have it. I don't have
the plans right in front of me, they are in the shop; but that might
total to 6 holes (or 8 holes with trim) for all the clevis that you might
need, or maybe just 4 holes if you double up the cables going back
onto the same clevis.

Mike,
Hillsboro is a nice, small airport. Gives extra discount on already low
priced fuel on Saturdays. Later this spring come down to PWG (McGregor) and
have breakfast with Chapter 59. We do it on the first Saturday of each
month. Next week is the first Saturday in February.

like
a neat airport.

Well, I hardly qualify for anything since I haven't yet gotten my
Piet in
the air, but here's an idea. There is a place at the Gillespie
County
Airport in Fredricksburg (the Hill Country of Texas) where they
have
renovated an old hangar and turned it into a hotel and somewhat
of a museum.
It's called the "Hangar Hotel", info at
http://www.swaviator.com/html/issueMJ04/HangarHotel.html , and
could perhaps
be persuaded to provide a special rate if a half-dozen or more
TACOs were to
book in an event with planes flying in. I believe they are
trying to
attract the "classic" crowd such as Piets anyway.
It may warrant a field trip to investigate what they have in the
beer
cooler. I might have to persuade Sterling to help me
investigate.

Hi Jack
Yep static is about 4" below the leading edge and in line, the pitot
pipe is another 2" lower than the static pipe and is about a 1/2"forward
of the leading edge. I copied the pitot/ static system that was given in
the KR manual. Well it don't seem to work for me, will have to try
another system, I pulled in a tube to the front instruments static's now
just need a reliable source for the static. The current position is well
clear of the prop wash as it is close to the wing attachment.
I'll let you know how things progress, I am going to make a new system
of tubes but longer.
Thanks
Norman

You are quite correct that the Aircraft Spruce Piet wood kid does not
include the cap strip material for the wings. (although cap strip
material for the tail group is included.) I found this out the hard way.
When my wood kit arrived (minus any 1/2 inch by =BC inch cap strips), I
called and got connected with a nice young lady who looked up the pull
sheet (which I had not received with the order) and informed me that cap
strip was extra at $8 per foot. (Turns out she was wrong on the $8 per
foot part.) When I got over my shock I checked out the catalogue which
states that rib and spar stock is supplied S2S and are to be run through
a table saw and ripped to the appropriate widths. When I called back to
check this out, the phone rep checked with the shop guys and came back
with =93we think the 3 inch by 1/2 inch by 7 foot boards are to be ripped
for the cap strips.=94 Shortly after ripping these boards for cap strips,
I received the pull sheet and found out that these newly deceased boards
are the aileron spars. Oh well! Good lesson to pass on I guess.
