I saw Frank Metcalfe flying His Big Piet last night and knew he was using
his GoPro. I couldn't resist the PhotoBomb with my Cub.

| Subject: | Steel-tube fuselage update - Cabaine struts... |
Hello good Piet-ple,
A quick update to share some progress on my project. My welder (Mike from Ready
Weld) stopped by a couple times last week to apply some talent to the cabaine
struts and center-section fittings. I have run the W&B numbers and decided to
weld the cabaine struts in the 90 degree vertical position. I will fine tune
the weight and balance in ways other than adjusting the struts. In this way, the
cabaine struts are SOLID structure for the "I hope it never happens" putting
it on her back situation..... but if it does happen I want a rigid structure
to protect me and my pax.
Hope all if you are enjoying fall - or what WE Pietenpol folks describe as "plane
building season." (The summer has way too many distractions!)
Regards,
Jake
P.S. I built my center-section 42" wide so I can carry more gas in the overhead.
This should eliminate the need for a second, header tank.

She's a beauty, Jake! Looking very nice. Good logic with the extended centersection
in order to eliminate a header tank. Gravity never stops working and simpler
is better.
With the reduced rolling resistance you'll get with those ultra-skinny tires, I'll
bet you already have enough lift from just the centersection to get you up
to takeoff speed and in ground effect!

| Subject: | Re: advice on trim mechanism |
Folks; I'm not trying to shoot down anyone's favorite trim actuation setup, just
passing along another data point for consideration. On the way to the Copperstate
Fly-In this past weekend, a friend's Super Cub with a Bowden-cable actuated
trim tab on the elevator had the cable break at the trim tab. The tab immediately
went into a violent flutter and acted as a servo tab, which set the
elevator into flutter sympathetically. My friend said that he thought the engine
had blown or that he had lost a prop blade, the vibration was so violent.
Changes in airspeed and power setting didn't change anything so he realized
that it wasn't the engine. His passenger had the presence of mind to suggest
that he lower the flaps, and that seemed to blank some of the airflow over the
tail and diminish the frequency of the flutter enough to where they limped about
30 miles to an airport.
Upon inspection, the Bowden cable was found to have a brittle fracture between
the point where it emerged from the outer sheath and the point where it attached
to the tab, and the wire was extremely work-hardened. This airplane is a complete
restoration with less than 300 hours on it, and my friend is an A&P.
He's replacing the Bowden cable setup with an electric trim servo.
Just passing along this information, and I see that the way the "Big Piet" guys
have theirs set up, the amount of wire outside the sheath is about as short as
it can be while still providing effective trim tab travel. Shorter is better,
given my friend's experience on his Super Cub.
