Hi All!I'm Larry Prange from Kingston, Washington (across Puget Sound fromSeattle). For the last couple years I have been building an 'A' powered AirCamper. I have the fuselage, tail assembly, wing ribs, landing gear(spokes) and gauges/controls/linkage done. The Ford engine is mounted. Inthe last month I have gotten the engine running. What a great sound tohear, after all of that work . . . Everything looks like it is working asexpected. (Probably because I am sticking to the plans.)Since I have never seen a Piet 'In the Flesh', I need a bit of advice on thecontrols for the Zenith Carb. I have installed regular, 'push/pull' cablelinkage for the throttle and the choke. But, I'm not sure what to do aboutthe gas mixture control (formerly controlled by twisting the choke controlknob on the donor car). Do most folks attach a multi-turn knob control ofsome kind? If so, what's the best way to do it? Or is it more common toset the mixture in an 'average' position and lock it that way? If that'sthe case, how do I find a good 'average' position?Also, are any of you in the Seattle area? If you are, maybe we could gettogether. It would be fun to check out each other's projects/planes, and'swap lies and swat flies'.Thanks for the help!Larry________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 16:17:09 -0500
