Since the 1934 plans don't even provide a dimension, most builders probably just eyeball it - which probably is what you did. It looks like about an inch, relatively speaking. Funny how both the FGM plans and the 1934 plans both provide incomplete information for this component - but they are incomplete in different ways. > Not sure why your mounting bolts are spaced at 5 1/2" instead of 6 1/2". One possible scenario is that you may have done the calculations, laid out the part, cut it, drilled it, and bent it, and when you were finished, in order to maintain the required height, that's just the way it worked. If you were to open up the bends to maintain 6 1/2", the height would probably be too short. And, since you most likely already have the floor drilled, there's no point in trying to change it now. > > Bill C. > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=449227#449227 > > > > > > > > > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:42:39 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Rudder Post From: "namrednos" Tonyp51, the drawing is not on the plans because it is from the 1932-33 Flying Manual, Page 27. The plans are not the same as the magazine but they are close. If you look to the left at the control stick, you can see the aileron cables come off at the same place as the elevator cables, not from a horn like the plans.
