    Looks good Jeff, I think I see two pulleys and I assume you will fit with a cable guard. I'm doing the rudder cable routing now which can go many different ways.

Howdy List, Over the past several weeks, it felt like I was not making much direct progress on my Pietenpol - direct progress that is because for the past three Saturdays I was in a class on "vintage radial aircraft engines." It was taught through a local community college and the Historic Flight Foundation (That's a museum North of Seattle where they fly all their vintage planes - amazing place.) Because I had not been as familiar with the differences between the radial and other aircraft engines as I would have liked - and because I am mounting a Rotec radial on my Piet - this class came along at just the right time. It felt, however, like I was not working on the plane for weeks at a time. But I really WAS working on the plane - by working on my knowledge of my powerplant...! Anyway, back to the forum topic.... A couple days ago I got the firewall back from a metal-forming specialist who formed the flanges on my stainless-steel firewall (thanks Danny - Creative Billet.) I burnished the panel myself prior to him forming it but I didn't have a heavy-duty shrinker/stretcher (or the experience) to form the flanges - so I hired out that operation. Now I can keep movin' on - funnn stufff.............. -------- Jake Schultz - curator, Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=339370#339370 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/burnished_firewall_front_117.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/burnished_firewall_back_148.jpg

    Jack; I concur with your interpretation of the regs regarding minimum safe altitude over water but what I want to know is, if you were maintaining 500 ft. above the boat full of young ladies, how were you able to tell (from that altitude) that they were pretty? do not archive Oscar Zuniga Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" San Antonio, TX (soon to be Eagle Point, Oregon) website at http://www.flysquirrel.net

    Subject: flying time again
    Good question, Oscar. The simple fact is, I could only surmise that from their general shapes - I couldn't see faces. Nor could I tell if they were wearing swimsuits or not. When flying that low I generally have my hands full with the airplane and can't spend too much time sightseeing. When I was 17, I used to like to fly my Dad's J-3 over the women's dorm of one of the colleges in town on the first warm day of spring. The women's dorm was the tallest building around, and the girls liked to go sunbathing "au natural" on the roof. I would approach the dorm at low altitude and then cut the throttle and glide over the dorm and watch them scamper for cover. Little did they know that I couldn't really take the time to look.

    Subject: Axle Travel Stops/Strap
    My plan was to have bolts and large washers threaded up into the bottoms of the anti-rotation tubes on my straight axle gear to serve as travel stops. I wonder if they would hold up if a bungee broke? I see most use some type of safety strap/cable...will either method work, or do I need the cable/strap? Thanks.

    I'm trying to understand what is going on here (see photo)... I can see that there is a deflection because the line doesn't remain straight, and I understand that you are pointing out that there is limited friction involved with the bottom cable, but is this cable routed below the fuse cross member or is there some kind of rub block mounted to the other side of the pulley? I know that it must be contacting something, just not sure how you are doing this. -------- Mark Chouinard Wings, Center Section and Empannage framed up - Working on Fuselage Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=339450#339450 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/cables_150.jpg

    the elevator cables from the rear control stick torque to the bellcrank won't clear the bottom seat crossmember so i added those two pulley to keep the cables off of that crossmember..quite a deflection from the upper cable.... not so much from the lower jeff Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=339458#339458

    Subject: Not exactly Piet Related - Beaumont Hotel
    From: "K5YAC" <hangar10@cox.net>
    This should be of interest for those right here in the heartland, but may also be of interest to anyone looking for a nice stop over that may be flying over these parts. There is a place called Beaumont Hotel in Beaumont, Kansas (about 60 miles east of Wichita) that is home to a really neat hotel and cafe, which is adorned with airplane and motorcycle photos, models and memorabilia. I've heard about this place for years, but only recently got to check it out. A friend let me ride along last Saturday as he was going to meet a couple of friends for breakfast. We landed in a mowed pasture and taxied into town on a paved county road. Once in town, we stopped at the main intersection and proceeded on to a grass airplane parking area. Yeah, a really neat place that obviously makes an effort to accomodate aviators and motorcyclists. Our trip was just for breakfast, which was excellent. I ould recommend the Pilot Special... two eggs, two strips of bacon, two pancakes, a big sausage pattie and biscuits and gravy. Oh yeah... good eats. There are also several historical sights to see that are within walking distance, one of which is the oldest wooden water tower still in use that was originally used to fill steam engines in the late 1800s. Here is a link to their page... if you are within a reasonable distance, you ought to check this place out. If you are passing through, you might consider the Beaumont as a stopover place that is away from busy municipal airports and does not require a vehicle to get around.

    I was wondering why this all looked so familiar - then it dawned on me - this place is featured in Chuck Gantzer's video. Bill C. do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=339471#339471

    CONGRATULATIONS Dave ! May I ask how your weight and balance worked out ? Sounds like you're having a blast doing high speed taxi runs. Have you been able to keep current or get current in a tailwheel airplane r ecently ? I was fortunate enough to have a friend who let me fly his J-3 Cub for several hours prior to my first flight in my new Piet since while building we generally don't take much time to go flying or like to spend the money on that when the project usual ly takes our spare DI. Last thing-try not to be lulled into the 'I gotta fly this thing now since I just got it signed off' mode. I had to wait FIVE full days after my sign off to make my first flight because of rainy, windy, turbulent cond itions and trust me-I was NOT pleasant to be around during those five days but I'm glad I sat it out. Too many things can happen on that first flight so stack the cards in your favor and WAY to GO MAN ! Mike C.
