Hi Dick
Thanks for the quick response. I have studied the pictures in the
Aircraft Spruce catalog and cannot see any way to run the wire through
the pin end to turn it back on the turnbuckle, whithout going around the
pin itself, which looks to me to be unacceptable. I guess I will step
back and start over with a fork end arrangement to remove the problem.
This is connecting the rudder cables to the rudder horns. through flat
metal links, because when putting the fork end of a turnbuckle directly
to the rudder, I found that I could only get a few degrees of deflection
of the rudder before the fork would jam in the horn. This would also
possibly damage the safety wire over time.
I am still curious if there is a proper way to do this. I think the
fork end is a better arrangement anyway and will go that route.

Norm,

You are correct! The price of $29.00 per sheet is for damaged sheets abused
by the fork lift and other mishandling. However, if you need to get some p
ieces form these sheets it will save you many $$.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: 1.5mm Plywood
Guys,
In looking for 1.5mm plywood, I called Boulter Plywood and asked for 1.5mm
Okume plywood, and they gave me a price of $49 per 4x8 sheet.- Since I ha
d seen their ad earlier this year for $29 for the same sheets, I was sorry
that I had missed the sale.- So I searched and came across a site that ha
s 1.5 mm Aircraft Birch Plywood in 4.4 sheets - Plywood & Door, with severa
l locations around the US.- Their cost is $23. per sheet, which translate
s to $46 for a 4 x 8.- (Add shipping and you have a pretty steep price.)
I mentioned this to Dick Navratil, and lamented the fact that I didn't jump
on the sale that Boulter Plywood listed in Sport Aviation.- Dick emailed
me back the next day to tell me the ad was still there and current.-
So, I called Boulter Friday afternoon, and told them I just saw the ad in t
he current Sport Aviation, and they extended the price to me at $29 per she
et.
After they took the order they called back late in the afternoon, and said
if I wanted to add to the order they would extend the price, but they were
going to contact EAA on Monday - tomorrow - and rescind the price.
So, if you need gusset material, NOW is the time to jump on this and let th
em know you just saw the ad, and want to place an order.
Please, however, do not mention this post, or my name, as I don't want my o
rder upset.
Best luck to all!

Don, attached is a picture, (re sized smaller...for those who has requested
so...) of my horns. They all use the fork end directly attached to the hor
n. However, I use swaged on forks, the turnbuckle is at the rudder bar. My
travel is not hindered by the fork...maybe your hole set back is excessive,
or the swage on cable forks are different.
I assume you do not want to purchase new turnbuckles, but there are the typ
e that use a spring type clip for safety...no hand wiring required. (also a
vail. at AS&S.)

| Subject: | Tailwheel endorsement question |
Like a lot of guys, I have a PPL but no medical, and am planning on flying LS.
Does one have to fly dual as well as solo to get a tail wheel endorsement? If
so, that would mean I would have to get the endorsement in an LS certified plane.
The reason I ask is because I have a friend that would let me use his Citabria,
and that would only cost me the instructor's time, but a Citabria is not LS.
I just haven't seen many LS planes available for rental here in SE Texas.
Thanks,

John,
If you can pass medical, just get your medical for one year and get your en
dorsement, then let your medical lapse again.
Unless you have a instructor that is willing to give you an endorsement wit
hout going solo.

I've seen these in person and I don't recall ever seeing horns without some

Solo time is not a requirement for the tailwheel endorsement, instruction

(i) *Additional training required for operating tailwheel airplanes. *(1)
Except as provided in paragraph (i)(2) of this section, no person may act as
pilot in command of a tailwheel airplane unless that person has received and
logged flight training from an authorized instructor in a tailwheel airplane
and received an endorsement in the person's logbook from an authorized

(iii) Go-around procedures.
(2) The training and endorsement required by paragraph (i)(1) of this

And technically, the way that is written, you can't solo in a tailwheel
airplane (since you would be PIC) until the instructor has provided you with
the tailwheel endorsement in your logbook...
If need be, per the Sport Pilot website (
http://www.sportpilot.org/instructors/texas_1.html), there are Sport Pilot
instructors listed in League City and La Porte, with a J-3 and a Taylorcraft
respectively.
Good luck!

I didn't have any trouble fitting the wire through the pin-hole or
through the fork to safety my turnbuckles, even using the double wrap
method. Did you try it?

You can get instruction in a non LS airplane because your CFI is pilot
in command. I got my tailwheel endorsement in a Citabria as a LS
pilot. I must say that a Citabria isn't very similar to a Pietenpol in
flight though, so try to get some dual time in a Cub before flying your
GN-1. Have fun!

Does one have to fly dual as well as solo to get a tail wheel endorsement?
If so, that would mean I would have to get the endorsement in an LS certified
plane.

I just haven't seen many LS planes available for rental here in SE Texas.

Hi John,
There is no solo requirement to get your tailwheel endorsement. Rather, as
Andrew cited, you must be signed off (get an endorsement) from a CFI showing
you are proficient in the operations he listed. You do not need a medical to
train, ie get the dual instruction. Obviously you can not solo the Citabria
once you have the endorsement because it is not a LS.
As an Instructor I would give you the sign-off without your medical, after
explaining to you that you could not act as PIC in a non-LS aircraft because
you lacked the medical. However, you are good to go in a LS.
Jim

John,
An aircraft doesn't have to be certified under LSA guidelines for you to fly
it with sport pilot restrictions. The aircraft just has to conform to the
definition of a light sport, the main criteria being under 1320lbs for land
aircraft.
Look around for someone who gives training in their cub, champ, chief, etc.
You can train and solo in these aircraft. There's a champ that is rented for
training in Kittie Hill, which is near austin/georgetown. I imagine there
are some places that have similar craft available near Houston.
http://www.sportpilot.org/learn/lsa/standard_certificate_aircraft.html has a
list of all the aircraft that are able to be flown as a sport pilot as if
they were certified as LSA.

Right. 1/2" pin nails from FastenerUSA.com. About 40# air pressure drives the
