    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.

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.

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Jon Botsford" <botsford7@hot.rr.com> 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.

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.

    Subject: Static port
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Norman Stapelberg" <norshel@mweb.co.za> 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

    Subject: Re: Accurate Wood List
    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. Tom Stinemetze McPherson, Kansas ____ | ____ \8/ / \ =93I bought a Piet wood kit from Aircraft Spruce. Just before it was ready to ship they called me to say that the rib cap strip was not included in that price and was extra.=94
