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, http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/piets3.html Oscar Zuniga San Antonio, TX mailto: taildrags@hotmail.com website at http://www.flysquirrel.net _________________________________________________________________ Catch suspicious messages before you open themwith Windows Live Hotmail. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:45:31 AM PST US From: "Rick Holland" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Throttle control question Oscar 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.

Castle Rock, Colorado ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:28:00 AM PST US From: "Oscar Zuniga" Subject: Pietenpol-List: pedal return 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.

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.
