Yes, it's clamped in both locations, with more than one clamp. I've left it
exactly as Corky set it up but may rework it next winter when things get
slow again.
For a setup that uses rods and bellcranks all the way from throttle to carb,
completely 'hard' linkages all the way from end to end, there are pictures
of Ernie Moreno's Piet setup here:
http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/piets2.html showing the linkages as the rod
passes through the firewall, and then the 'cockpits' page showing how the
quadrants are set up and connected together,

Question about your front rudder petals, looking at your pictures, do you
have a cable or a solid rod running between your front and back rudder
petals? If a cable is that a spring running from the front petal to the
firewall? I am asking because I was thinking of using springs.

Rick-
The pictures on my website that you're referring to are of Ernie Moreno's
Piet, not mine, but to answer your question- it sure looks like there are
pedal return springs on the pilot's pedals but I don't see any for the
passenger pedals. Surely there are some there because the link between the
front and rear pedals are 1/8" cables (the Nicopress sleeves are clearly
visible). Without something to hold up the front pedals, they will simply
flop over backwards the first time you steer them past the tip-over point.
Dan Horton had a really clean and nifty pedal return spring setup on his
replica Canuck/Jenny (Geo Metro power, I believe). I have some pictures of
his setup somewhere; I'll try to dig them up because it was a very nice
arrangement. He used circular springs rather than coil springs but it's
hard to describe in words. Let me find the pix and scan them.
On 41CC, the linkages between pilot's rudder bar and passenger's pedals are
4130 steel tubing (small diameter) with fork ends.

Thanks Chuck, do you have and pictures? I know I have taken pictures of your
Piet at Broadhead but nothing with your throttle controls.
Rick
Rick,
I'll get some good pictures of the set up on Thursday of Friday. TFR in
Wichita on Wednesday for Air Force One, so Bush can see the devistation in
Greensburg KS.
