| Subject: | Re: rudder cables it's done |
I agree Shad.
For running rudder cables under the stab, that's what we did.- Works fine
, and looks better in my opinion.- It also makes running seperate tailwhe
el cables easier.- The only bennifit to runing them to the middle (origin
al design) is equal load on the hinges (in therory), at least as far as I c
an tell.- If you want them under the stab go for it, it won't hurt anythi
ng.- Look at any other homebuilt design and 99% have the rudder horn unde
r the horiz stab.- I remember talking Dad into running the cables "down l
ow" (at a young age of 21)-to make the airplane look more streamlined.-
Do what you want, use your own God given common sense, and some "Tribal Kn
owlage", and you will be just fine with this little, simple, forgiving airp
lane design.- My only advise for building this airplane, and getting it d
one is; Don't over analize this design, just look at what it is and build i
t to suite yourself.- It is NOT the space shuttle, or SR-71.- Cable pul
ls
left or right, up or down, does not bind works good so it is good.- If t
he original design works than don't fix it.-Use good practices and techni
ques, but don't over design the simplicty.- Yes, if your not sure ask, bu
t the plans, or design is NOT perfect, if you see room for improvement, imp
rove it if you have the knowlage or ability.- A pietenpol is not a compli
cated machine, about as complicated as a barn door.

Please ignore if already posted, otherwise enjoy the various uses of Bernar
d, Bernie, Piet and Pietenpol !

Big Piet Builders
Six build Bernie's Pietenpol
All of us bifocal wearers have difficulty reading the
instruments, so we tilted the seat back 4 inches at the top.
Along with adjustable rudder pedals, we fit down inside
the cockpit with all the comfort of your favorite recliner.
We were not worried about these changes, because Bernie
was always changing the Pietenpol as new ideas came out.
In conversation with Don Pietenpol, Bernie's son, he said
his dad never built any two exactly alike.

Great article.
I've been wondering about something for several weeks since I first read this article,
perhaps you guys can provide an answer. When I look at the photo of the
wing rib on page 66 (lower left), I see that the leading edge is done a bit
differently than mine. I am using the original Bernie plans, which call for
a 1/2" x 1/2" block reinforced with a small gusset. These guys have a notched
leading edge with a fully sheeted area in front of the spar. Is this just a
different technique or different plans? I like the way theirs look... just wondering
if I should have done that too?
It also looks like the spacing for their spar is likely 1". I built my wing ribs
to accept a 3/4" spar as I have read that the 3/4" is sufficient. This is
correct, right?
I guess I'm just second guessing my techniques since their build looks a little
different than mine.

3/4 inch spar will work just fine.

Did my second rib today. I tailored mine for the 3/4" spar as well. Looks like
I put my brass nails in same spot as you also (heh heh). As they say, Great minds
think alike..
