been thinking about your question for several hours and I am not sure why
you would even want or need one in the front cockpit. Piets are soloed from the
rear seat, that being said, if someone were flying it in the front seat then
I would only hope that there is a qualified pilot in the back seat to adjust
the trim. The second thing that comes to mind is that we as builders should
be concerned about any extra weight we build into the planes. It only takes away
from our useful load no matter how minor the weight gain.

Piet I have seen. It is copied from a pre-war T-craft. It could be made to
work from both cockpits without a lot of extra work.
