I especially liked your throttle quadrant. I will reconsider the flop, plus it would allow me to hide a handle in there as well. I suppose that this is all a balance act of weight versus smoothness of flight. Tools, that was exactly what I was looking for! Now I can begin to coat my wood (so to speak) and protect it. I would rather use Stewart Systems just because of some bad experiences with MEK. You guys have all been awesome, and though I may or may not use all of your ideas, they have all been helpful in making the decisions.

My two cents: keep them vertical, for two reasons: (1) if you keep them vertical, you can tilt them back if you need to adjust the wing position relative to the CG to get it where you want it. If you build them splayed, the geometry will not readily permit that adjustment. It can be done, but not as easily. (2) if you keep them vertical, all of the fittings remain as per plans with less fussing with angles. Structurally, I don't think there is much difference but it's a little easier to analyze forces in members that are perpendicular to the load imposed on them (vertical cabanes). -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=455370#455370 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:29:12 PM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Pietenpol Kit For sale From: Steven Dortch Tony tell why you are leaving the brotherhood. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
