Jim,
Check out the photo for details of my pilot/passenger steps :-
http://www.cpc-world.com/new_card_images/images/IMG_0712_JPG.jpg
The passenger step is just =BD" 4130 welded into the gear legs (ala
Alan James). The pilots step is ply and spruce. See the following :-
http://www.cpc-world.com/images/IMG_0453_JPG.jpg and
http://www.cpc-world.com/images/IMG_0454_JPG.jpg
You may need to zoom in a bit on the images for a better look.
Hope that helps.

I thought about doing something like that for passenger steps but ...
Doesn't that get in the way of your rudder cables?

Sorry to hear that Shad,
I had a similar experience when a wing panel that I thought I had fastened
securely to the ceiling broke loose and fell onto the other wing panel belo
w it. I had just finished shrinking the covering and had applied the tapes
. Made for a bad, bad day....
She is flying now though!

Subject: Pietenpol-List: OHHH CRAPP!!!! LESSON IN BUILDING!!
Hello Guys, hope your day went better than mine! I was out today working o
n my wings for my Jungster 1, and after 5 hrs of prep and gluing I heard th
e worst sound a homebuilder can hear..... CRUNCH, CRACK, SILENCE!, Then 15
min. of severe, prolonged cussing! I glued my false spars for the ailerons
in to the ribs and had it clamped , and 10 min later bumped into the bench
, the whole thing fell off the work bench crashed to the floor, and broke o
ff 2 of the ribs, top and bottom caps, trailing edge and all. I can fix it
but, for about 10 min I thought about throwing the damn wing pannel in the
yard and running it over with the Allis Chalmers, and starting over. I go
t one rib is fixed, now I have to scarf in some trailing edge stock, and pl
ywood strip and try to keep it looking steright. One bad thing about wood
is it can't be driled off and replaced like aluminum airplanes. However I
am lucky it broke where it did (If you can call it lucky) because I can fix
it relitivily eaisly, and cheaply. The hard part is going to be scarffing
in the trailing edge pieces and make it look profesional. LESSON: MAKE SU
RE THAT WHILE BUILDING YOU KEEP THE STRUCTURE WELL AWAY FROM THE EDGES OF T
HE WORK BENCH, AND IT CAN NOT TOPPLE OVER, OR OFF THE BENCH, ESPECIALLY WHE
N IT IS TOP HEAVY BECAUSE OF "C"CLAMPS, OR OTHER HEVY TOOLS. I will try not
to add too much more "charactor" to my airplane untill I am ready for fabr
ic and paint.
LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE!!!!!

Rick:
I guess I wasn't being clear. It appears that your step located
underneath the pilot's seat would interfere with the rudder cables as
they head back behind the seat.

Hi Guys,
Here is how I did my pilot step. I wanted to have it totally recessed, but I
had too much going on inside, so I had it stick out some too. Pictures
attached.

Dan:
That looks like a good compromise - light yet functional and shouldn't
interfere with the rudder cables.

Tom,
Take a look at HYPERLINK
"http://www.cpc-world.com/images/IMG_0464_JPG.jpg"http://www.cpc-world.com/i
mages/IMG_0464_JPG.jpg.
You can see the rudder cable (green test wire) goes underneath the step.
Cheers
Peter.
