Hello Piet friends. Would enjoy hearing how others cut and fabricate polyethylene.
Is there a glue that works with it. I've used my band saw and knife. Plan
to use it for my rudder cable routing.
Thanks!

Jack,
I used 1/8 in. Nylon for my fairleads. There is no way to glue polyethylene securely.
I may have some pictures of how I did my fairleads. If I find them I will
post them.

You can lathe the finished part. Leave a flanged face to adhere to your
fairlead bracket. Try this Youtube video for the adhesion.

Or just buy the nylon fairleads from Aircraft Spruce like Piper used for
years. They are made to fit in a short piece of =C2=BE=9D tubing,
which can then be welded to a plate that can be attached to your
structure. I used them throughout my Pietenpol. Here=99s a
picture showing how they are mounted:
And here=99s a picture showing a closeup of the mount:

Thanks fellows for the pics and thoughtful comments. I just wanted to review the
various methods before proceeding. I'm actually using pulleys below the seat,
then the fair leads with an AN742-12 clamp. Then UHMW as the cables exit
the fuselage. Now I just need to get going on the tail wheel cable routing.
Thanks again!

I see that many attach the forward cowl support to the leading edge of the front
stiffener. The plans call for this piece to be attached to the fuselage a few
inches ahead of the stiffener as indicated in the drawing. Why is this done?

| Subject: | Re: Cowl Support |
John;
My airplane (and, I suspect, others with a nose tank) does not have that cowl support
because the nose tank occupies that space. I have a top cowl piece that
goes from the front 'instrument board' to the firewall and that cowl piece has
the front cockpit windscreen on top of it.
The stiffener goes across the top longerons where the lower ends of the cabane
brace struts attach to the longerons. I don't think there is anything magical
about where the 'cowl support' attaches but I could be missing something. Builders
with a wing tank might have a better answer for you.
