      Cliff attached are three pictures for you to see how I handled this. The fi
      rst, is the finished horn. You can see the remains of the drilled holes tha
      t make up the bent corners at each end of the tabs, as others had spoken ab
      out.- The second and third picture, although not a control horn, gives yo
      u an idea on how to make the "cut" using multiple holes.=0A=0AOn your pictu
      re, cut the vertical line of the "T" with a hacksaw. Then drill multiple sm
      all holes across the top of the "T". Bend the tabs, then clean with a file.
       Use a small rat tail file to clean up the drilled "corners" of the bends.

      Are you making your control horns from solid, one piece sheet metal?  I think that
      this is what the GN-1 plans call for.  I have seen a Piet set up this way,
      and it seems much easier than forming and welding the hollow ones.  
      
      BTW,  I look forward to meeting you at Barnwell.

      Just remember Steve, little girls grow up to be teenage girls with lots of
      
      girlfriends. These teenage girlfriends will all want to go for airplane 
      rides.
      Your teenage daughters will then go to college and join sororities. All of
      
      their sorority sisters will be very enthusiastic about going for airplane
      
      rides.
      
      The Pietenpol ROCKS more than any other airplane for giving rides. Think 
      carefully before you sell your Air Camper and lose these opportunities.

      Steve,
      
      Don't sell you kids short.  I grew up helping dad build in 1972 and fly the Piet
      I have, and my daughters grew up flying and helped me rebuild the plane in 2000.
      My youngest daughter and son-in-law got their pilots licenses and when she
      can afford to keep and maintain it , I will give it to her someday.  The plane
      has become a family heirloom.  
      
      Yes it is worth keeping,
      
      My 3 cents,

      Terry,
      
      I used a waterjet machine! Used .065" 4130 - single piece for all my "horns" and
      .090 for engine mounts and LG fittings.  HUGE time saver.  8 engine mount fittings,
      8 LG fittings,  6 "horns"  about $170 for the service.
      
      BARGAIN
      
      See you all at Barnwell.

      A friend of mine bought a Piet in S Georgia and during his trip back to his
      home in Florida, was hit with turbulence. Next thing he knew, all his cables
      went slack and he could not keep it in the air. He stuck it in the side of a
      big pine tree and climbed down but could not figure out which direction the
      highway was that he was following. He went back and dug the compass out with
      his knife and promptly found the road just as the firemen were coming to
      find him. Someone had seen him go down from the highway and called it in.
      Bottom line is...Solid control horns.

      Steve,
      
      There are a lot of Piets in the States that come and go on Barnstormers, the BPA
      newsletter, etc.  There will always be one for sale.  Save your money, take
      care of your wife and kids, sell the Piet now, buy or build another when the time
      is right. 
      
      Dan and Greg - how old were your kids when you built your Piets? Not 2 1/2. 
      
      Scott - how old were you when you helped your dad build?  How old were your daughters
      when they helped you rebuild?  Not 2 1/2. 
      
      Leave poor Steve alone. This is a hard decision, he's good people and deserves
      our support.  All y'all need re-read Douwe's article in the last BPA newsletter,
      esp. the 2nd to last paragraph.

      going from Indiana to TX and OK to Oshkosh and back.  It is an incredibly fun
      airplane...I'd rather fly it than the Cardinal, 172, Pacer, or other airplanes
      I fly, though those serve their own purposes well.  I even took it to 10,500'
      once (it was cold).  I don't have to explain to most of you guys how great
      these planes are...most of you already know.  The issue is that I have two little
      girls now, 2-1/2 and 6 months old, and since the first was born I very rarely
      fly the Piet, because I always take the older one with me when I fly somewhere.
      So, it has only flown a few hours a year for the last two years, and I
      don't see how that will change in the next 5 to 10 years.  I see no point in
      letting the plane sit unused, while paying for the hangar and to keep it airworthy.
      It would always be in the back of my mind to own a Piet again one day.
      My plan would be to buy a fun taildragger (with partners) that the kids could
      ride in with me for pancake runs, hamburger runs, and exploring the area (my 2-1/2
      year old has about 70 hours with me in various planes...at three months old

| Subject:  | Bottom line is...Solid control horns | 
      
      
      
      Barry,
      You never mentioned what the actual failure was.. was it solid control 
      horns or per plans, what caused the failure, etc.  I can't imagine how 
      the failure of one control horn could make all the cables go slack.  I 
      have the control horns as per the plans, and give them a thorough  check 
      as my pre-flight.  They are light and strong, proven over the years.  I 
      worry that over time they could rust from the inside, even though I 
      coated the inside with paint pretty well prior to installing them.

      Not sure if same accident I read about, but I did run across a piet accident ,somewhere
      in the interweb, caused because of a poorly welded elevator control horn.
      Dont remember any other details. 
        How do you piet flyers feel about the orig design? Do you recommend keeping it
      original, or the 1 piece version?

      Tonight I finished all the fabric work on my project.  Tomorrow I have an
      hour or two of ironing down pinked edges, then prep work for painting.
       Life is good.
      
      Cheers, Ken

      I recommend the original version. The original version will be lighter and, 
      in my experience, much stronger than a one piece control horn.

      Me? Too late Micheal, mine were done years ago.  :-)
      With all the pics I've taken over the years somehow
      I didn't take any of the horns!! Or lost them. I used
      to have someone in the house who crashed my
      pooter at least three times. Gone now.

        Cliff attached are three pictures for you to see how I handled this. 
      The first, is the finished horn. You can see the remains of the drilled 
      holes that make up the bent corners If God is your co-pilot...switch
