Peter,
In the photo of the push rod attached to the bell crank, which of the three holes
gave you the best fore/aft stick movement for elevator control?
Also are the bell crank holes for the elevator cables the same distance apart as
the elevator control horn holes?
This would alleviation the slack cable syndrome reported by many.
The same would hold true of the rudder cables. Simple geometry.

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Push-pull control rod
I have some pictures on my web site of the control tubes etc.
Have a look at http://www.cpc-world.com/main.php?insert_file=photos103.php .
The only thing I did notice was that the rod ends on the tube under the rear seat
did not allow full stick side by side movement with out undoing the rod end
a fraction of a turn.
There were plenty of threads left and there was no way it was going to fall out
so I left it as is. Not problems in use.
I think I used 1/2 inch tubing if I remember correctly.
Cheers

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Push-pull control rod
Fellow pieters:
Any members have photos thay can share on the push-pull rods. I am looking for
control stick connections, behind the seat set-up and bell crank connection. Any
assistance in the size, material, and parts used for this set-up is much appreicated.

John,
I left the push rod in the hole shown. The stick was right in the gut on
landing (except when I fluffed it!!!) and felt fine in general flying.
The bell crank holes were as plans.
Cheers
Peter

| Subject: | Another Piet back in the air |
Lowell Durham of Milaca, Mn built and flew this Pietenpol a number of
years ago. It sat in a barn for 9 years until purchased earlier this
year by Bob Poore. Bob got it back in flying condition as you can see in
the attached picture.
Will we see it a Brodhead this year Bob?
