It's actually 1/4" with forks at each end. The forward end attaches to the turnbuckle. As it passes through the front cockpit I have a hardwood block that it goes through as a guide. I have a leather washer at the mounting point of the under slung throttle. This allows for smoother operation.

In case you haven't heard of it, it is a great book, anyone remotely interested in AirCampers should read it. The address is: http://www.threepeakspub.com Steve Ruse Norman, OK -----Original Message----- From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Steve Ruse Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 10:51 PM Subject: Pietenpol-List: Chet Peek's book "The Pietenpol Story" Chet has received his book from the publisher, and is ready to start selling copies. Until the end of the year, he will be distributing the book himself, so the only way to get one is to e-mail him directly to order it. I will get my copy Thursday afternoon and can't wait. I'll be sure to post some thoughts on the book soon, I bet I'll have it read cover to cover in two to three days. His e-mail address is RBaron18@aol.com. I asked him today and he said he will be taking orders for the book by e-mail, so don't hesitate to send him an e-mail if you are interested. There are even a couple of pictures of my plane in the book, and a little bit of information on my plane and how I obtained it, so I'm particularly excited about the book. If you don't know who Chet Peek is, he is an "Aviation Historian", who knows plenty about aviation. He was in B-17s in WWII, and has plenty of hands-on restoration and flying experience. He restored and flew a Curtis Jenny which was actually for sale on Barnstormers recently. I'm sure he has forgotten more about airplanes than I will ever learn. His most well known book is "The Taylorcraft Story". He is currently building a Model A Pietenpol, he has the fuselage built and is nearly ready to run the engine. I've seen it in his garage, and the work he does is great. I can't wait to see the finished product, I'm sure it will be one of the nicest around. I hope to fly chase on its first flight.

Not sure where I'll stay yet, I may camp on-field if possible. The website says there are "limited bathing facilities on the airport". I'm still trying to figure out what "limited bathing facilities are". Is anyone else planning on going? Chuck G.? Jim M.? Jim, I hope you can make it, I feel like I've known you for a couple of years now, and we've never even met! http://www.biplaneexpo.com/ Steve Ruse Norman, OK ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
