I have 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. > > All that said, I'm sure someone on the list with a similar trim system would have some useful ideas for the front hole. My trim system is not like any other 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. > > Respectfully, > > -------- > Scott Liefeld > Flying N11MS since March 1972 > Steel Tube > C-85-12 > Wire Wheels > Brodhead in 1996 > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=431746#431746 > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
