Subject: Pietenpol-List: Turnbuckles and suchHey GuysDoes anyone know the best place to get turnbuckles, cable and related parts for controls. Whats better 3/32 or 1/8 cable, stainless or galvanized. At the prices I've been seeing just the turnbuckles would cost as much as the wood for my fuse. If thats the case than so be it, if anyone knows anything better that would be great. Any help would be greatly appreciated.GaryNew Orleans________________________________________________________________________________

Chris:If you figure out what to buy, a good place to look first is Faeth Aircraftparts in Sacramento on Bradshaw. You may already know about this, but ifyou don't, its a good place to buy parts at fairly reasonable prices. Hehas turnbuckes and ends of various types and sizes.Dave Magaw(The guy you talk to at EAA 52 meetings, building tailwind.)----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Turnbuckles and suchAircraft Spruce or Wicks aircraft have good sections on turnbuckles in their catalogs. The Piet (Improved Air camper) uses some 1/8 cable (follow the plans) and lots of 3/32 cable. The two piets in the museum at Oshkosh have 1/16 for the tail flying wires. Use 3/32 here if you don't like the 1/16. I use the turnbuckles with 10-32 threads on my airplanes for both the 3/32 and the 1/8 cable. We (Chuck Gantzer and I) are using turnbuckles with 8-32 threads for the 1/16 tail wires on the current project. The short length turnbuckles are the lightest and look nice.Doug BryantWichita, KsDon't forget the PIET fly in. It will be held in Benton, Ks Sept 9, 00 (Benton is a small town just north of Wichita) ________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Turnbuckles and suchYes, the Yard Store is homebuilders heaven. All of the general hardware on all my planes is from the Yard. Whenever I find something which is needed for the piet, I buy alot of that item so I can share with other builders. For instance, I have thousands of little clips which hold the cowling to the plywood formers. I have them with tinnerman nuts and others with # 8 nutplates. I also found the 3/16 iron rivets used on the tail, and they work very well. later, Doug ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2000 10:10:00 -0700 (PDT)
