plans show crossed cables between front and rear cabanes on one side only asfore aft wing supports but most builders elect to use tubing supports fromfront top motor mount to front cabaneJoeCJoe & Marian Beck wrote:> Hi group:> Are the bracing tubes that angle down and forward from the front cabanes> required?

The originals did not use the tube braces,but relied on an "X" cablebracing on one side between the cabane uprights.

If you have ever flown in the front seat of a Piet with crossed cablebraces . you will use strut braces instead. The cables make entry andexittough on small people, impossible for large or older less agile folk.besides Bernie used them. If you want to stay fathfull to the original plan like Howard Hendersondid. Then go with the cables. But If you want your wife and friends toenjoy the experence, use the braces. Also in the unlikly event of anaccident. The cables restrict the passengers exit options to the leftside of the aircraft. I guess thats about two cents worth.________________________________________________________________________________
