--> <steven.d.dortch@us.army.mil>
Well, I have started working on the Piet! As y'all know this was a flying
plane. It has a Piper cub landing gear.
My first project is putting the heel brakes and cable back onto the plane.
(they are obviously on the wheels.)
How did y'all put spacers under the heel brake so that it pivots?
How is the brake cable housing secured next to the heel brakes?
I need to make a hole for the cable to run out near the gear attach point.
The frame is recovered and the hole has not been made yet. What is the best
way to make this hole? Burn through and ?
How is the wire attached to the brake lever? there does not appear to be a
hole in the bolt on the brake lever?
Better yet, Who has some good photos on a web site of how they did it?
Sorry for the basic questions, I know how I would do it, but I am sure that
someone else has done it better.
Blue Skies,
Steve D.

On this plane the brakes are mechanical just like the ones on an Aeronca Champ.
The best description I can give is that from the pedal to the brake it is somewhat
similar in design to a hand brake on a bicycle. The Brake pedal does the same
as the lever you squeeze on a bicycle.
John Kuhfahl is coming out tomorrow to show me how they were in the plane when
he took them out and what he intended to do to put them back in.
I will get some photos.
Blue Skies,
Steve D
