      Jeff,
      It's my understanding that some slack is good.  There is an alternative
      bellcrank design by Ken Perkins, you can see a picture here
      http://textors.com/DSCN4226_640x480.jpg not far enough along to say it works
      but Ken is a fantastic builder.  His contact info,

      Ok .... i'm dying here
      i've read the post about the slack in the elevator cables...
      i'm confused
      
      the cables from the control stick to the bellcrank loose tension as i move
      the stick fore and aft.... pressure in the middle and way slack at the up
      and down positions...i don't get it... 
      this can't be right
      
      i can see where a tube with a rod end is nice
      
      i thought this was going to be the easy part

      Thank you guys! I didnt think about not being able to read the smaller instruments.
      I guess I will check once the fuse is assembled and then make the adjustments.
      Can anyone give me an idea of the distance from the panel to where the aileron
      cables run through the back?

      Congratulations Dave,
      
      I have one item I think you should consider.  I was looking at you W&B and noticed
      that you have the gross weight at 1250 pounds.  If you were to lower it to
      1230 or lower before your inspection it would then be able to be flown by a Sport
      Pilot.  Once it gets its AW with 1250 documented it cannot be changed.  As
      the builder you can set the gross weight anywhere you would like.
      
      My two cents.  Good luck and enjoy every flight.

      i understand the aft cable issue...
      as i move the stick...no cables aft of the bellcrank the cables go from loose to
      tight to loose again
      my problem is up front... i see from mr Cuys photos that 2 inches of travel at
      the location of his stop is all thats required and that would help but i'm wondering
      if the bellcrank going overcenter is the problem
      
      i really thought this closed loop in the front was a no brainer
      now i feel like i'm missing a brain myself

      I use the push/pull tube setup on my plane so I can't help you with the cab
      le slack/tight problem. However, it would be wise to position the bellcrank
       to be vertical when the control stick is neutral. This will give you the s
      ame stick "feel" when you move the stick from neutral forward and neutral a
      ft. Also, it will give the controls the same amount a travel in both direct
      ions. (which if needed can be limited by stops.) 
      
      You will find the same cable issues with the rudder.

      Scott,
      
      The information I've seen is that the gross weight limit for airplanes
      to be sport pilot eligible is 1320 lbs.  Has that number been changed?

      Scott,
      
      I hear there's a dyslexia for cure found!  News good, us for!
      
      The definition of light sport aircraft is found in FAR 1.1
      
      Light-sport aircraft means an aircraft, other than a helicopter or 
      powered-lift that, since its original certification, has continued to 
      meet the following:
      (1) A maximum takeoff weight of not more than
      (i) 1,320 pounds (600 kilograms) for aircraft not intended for operation 
      on water; or
      (ii) 1,430 pounds (650 kilograms) for an aircraft intended for operation 
      on water.
      
      Dave's OK with his weight spec'd at 1250.
      
      Dan

      thanks... 
      i was just out in the hangar messing with it.... if i leave the cables just tight
      enough not to sag then it actually feels ok.. it just seems weird to be that
      loose..
      the wooden block under the seat instead of the pulley would work great too , no
      real friction with loose cables
      
      in unison now... " stick to the plans "

      Progress comes in baby steps I guess.  I finished the final welds last 
      night and got N328X back up on its gear after building it wrong the first 
      time.  Thanks to our own Ryan Mueller and guru William Wynne the axles 
      have been moved forward a full 6 inches from the plans location to account 
      for brakes and no tail skid.  One additional benefit will be a slight 
      shift of weight in the forward direction which I expect to be beneficial 
      as well.
      
      Sorry, no photos yet since everything had to come back off for cleaning 
      up, priming, and painting before (what I hope to be) final assembly.

      i understand the aft cable issue...
      as i move the stick...no cables aft of the bellcrank the cables go from
      loose to tight to loose again
      my problem is up front... i see from mr Cuys photos that 2 inches of travel
      at the location of his stop is all thats required and that would help but
      i'm wondering if the bellcrank going overcenter is the problem
      
      i really thought this closed loop in the front was a no brainer
      now i feel like i'm missing a brain myself

| Subject:  | Where is the Belize Fisherman Ray Axillou when you need | 
      him ??
      
      For those of you who joined the list after Wildman Ray,  (aka The Fisherman
      ) Axillou dropped off the Piet list,
      he was building a Piet under some shade trees in Florida out of anything he
       could get his hands on from Home Depot
      and was making grand headway until he found out there are a hundred metal f
      ittings to be hand-fabricated and
      welded to hold everything together.
      
      He was always yacking about retiring to Belize and flying is Pietenpol down
       there.   He actually caused such a ruckus on
      the list with his hair-up-his-netheregion ideas (most were downright unairw
      orthy and outright dangerous) that it caused
      some of us to become good friends on the list as we all shared our frustrat
      ions with this character in trying to get him to
      build safely out of decent grade materials.

      What?  Un-airworthy practices on THIS list?  Inconceivable!   :D  
      
      They need to be delivered by C-46 Commando or C-47 Skytrain... I can't think of
      a more fitting aircraft to deliver something on the 5th-6th of June.

      Jim,
      
      You can load a case of your best stuff in baggage compartment. I promise 
      not to touch it while in flight. At least not until the first fuel stop. 
      There might be some left by the time I get to Brodhead. The Stinson is 
      good for 6oo pounds in the back seat.  (For those who don't know 
      me...just kidding.)
      
      I'll be working on the Taylorcraft Saturday so swing by the hangar and 
      we'll get a hamburger.
