Subject: | Re: Throttle Cable Routing for Stromberg on A65 |
I was looking through this thread and was surprised to see that guys are relying
on a wire clamped with a grub screw (B-clamp) to connect to the throttle lever.
I like Oscar's use of a fork end which can be secured to the throttle lever. No
chance of wire slipping out of the B-clamp.

To finish up the throttle attachment question I had - regarding a method to attach
Bowden style throttle cales, I found a photo I took at Brodhead last summer
of a nice engine installation on a Hatz. I beleive the blue cable clamp in the
photo is a "Cable Safe No Slip Grip" Aircraft Spruce part no 05-16250 (see
attached photo). They also sell a similar grip as the one shown in the photo.
ACS also sells a collet style solid wire fitting to attach a threaded fork end
if desired on the wire end of the cable, but I think I'll try to use a "B-Nut"
on each end (not the type of b-nut that they sell in local hardware stores, but
the aircraft style b-nut as it looks a little better). So I ordered a couple
of these cable clamps and a b-nut today.

Oscar - Thanks for the advice. In the spirit of your message, I'm setting
a deadline for the "fish scale" thrust test for no later than Jan 31st.
This will push me a bit to get the battery installed and fuel tank cleaned
and ready. Don't worry about safety, that IS my number one consideration.
In fact, I already had my aircraft mechanic out for a site visit to
inspect the wing prior to covering. He took a bunch of photos and
commented that it looked "marvelous" and to cover it up! He will be out
again to look at it for the purpose of issuing a ferry permit. I'll then
fly it to his shop for it's first annual inspection since 2004. Thank
again for you inspiring message!

Subject: | Re: Rib Stitching |
I thought it was kinda fun...
my wife would say the whole time i was building.. " I'm gonna help stitch"
well.. i showed her a few stitches and she replied.."uhh...i can't do that.."
I assured here she could but she wouldn't ..so i did it all.
It was a kinda zen couple of days

Way to go Jeff Faith in getting your Experimental Amateur Built Airworthiness Certificate!!!!
That is a really fast build time. Congratulations! Obviously we all want
to know when taxi testing
and all will begin and possible first flight. Sure hope you can share a video
with us of your flight.
Will you have to mix with the jets with your Model A Ford using a handheld?
I hope the tower
gives "Gulfstream fourty-nine Zulu, use caution, wake turbulence, departing Pietenpol
Air Camper Runway 5L."

I hear that the radiator will keep you warm and toasty on cool winter
days, so go fly. Personally, I can attest that winter flying is a joy
if you're properly dressed and the front cockpit is buttoned up.

Subject: | a water-cooled something-or-other engine on a Piet |
Thanks to some inadvertent dart-throwing at some of the MANY wonderful Piet
photos that
Chris Tracy has posted for us I ran across this one. I wonder what Joshua
used for an engine.
Water cooled, reduction drive. Subaru? Nice looking plane, cowling, an
d fit and finish!
How many of you have ever seen this one? Chris sure has some gems on hi
s site....I just have
never taken the time to look thru all of them before.
