Probably 5 years ago, Dick Navrotil did a talk at Brodhead on aircraft rigging.
His position was that there are a significant number of aircraft, not just Piets,
that are poor flyers because they were not rigged properly. As others have
said, do it right, take your time, and measure everything twice.
The other piece of advice he had from that talk was that if things aren't going
right, put your tools away and get a frosty cold one. Mistakes made while frustrated
have a tendency to be permanent.

Say, Peter- your airplane is looking very nice! Looks like you've got a passenger
cockpit door. I see no lift strut X-brace cables or jury struts. Since you've
just fitted the wings to the fuselage, does that mean you haven't yet installed
the cables and struts? And how strict are the government regulations
about adherence to Mr. Pietenpol's plans? Do they permit any deviations? I see
that you have the Stearman-style flat windshields, nicely done.
Taxi tests soon, eh mate-?

Hi Oscar,
I fitted the cross braces today. Ill check the rigging next and then do
the jury struts.
Still got the aileron cables to put some turnbuckles on. Had some fun
today putting the cable through the pulleys in the centre section. Oh for
small hands.
The Govt regs allow for experimental being just that. Quite a few changes
can be made before any major restrictions are applied to the Special
Certificate of Airworthiness.
I have a week off in early November so could have it ready for the
paperwork by then. Although Im still waiting for a new prop.
Cheers
Peter
