Rick, I have nothing bad to say about the A-frame tail wheel gear that Mr. Pietenpol designed, the problem was with my cable rigging. Since I had decided to use return springs in the cockpit, I had no way of tightening the cables to the tail wheel. Landings wereunpredictable. The new setup is with a spring that extends the tail wheel back far enough to link to the rudder with a rudder horn. Using a Matco tail wheel.

From: "taildrags" Gary; I've always considered that life in California would be like "that hot place down there", but can it really be 380 degrees where you are? You probably mean that your CHTs are running that high ;o) Note that there has recently been a discussion on WW's website about where the CHT sensor is placed and what the corresponding temperatures should be, based on the sensor placement. The question is, where is your CHT sensor placed? Under the plugs, or at the threaded boss in the head? And if under the plugs, which specific cylinder/plug? They don't all run the same temperature. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=411976#411976 ________________________________ Message 15 ____________________________________ Time: 06:17:43 PM PST US From: John Franklin Subject: Pietenpol-List: Regarding the Contrex sensor... While we're on the subject of the Contrex sensor, how are you guys holding it in place? I welded up a "T" bracket like the one shown on WW's website. He mentions it as being a press fit, I believe. Mine fits fairly tight but I don't know if it will hold the correct position since I haven't run the engine with it in place. I was hoping some RTV in the end of the tube might hold it but would like to hear what your experiences have shown.
