Subject: Pietenpol-List: Dihedral AgainPieters,I was crowing yesterday about the cocky 2 degree dihedral in N41CC. Well, it won't work. Today while trying to smooth the aileron controls I find the idler, top, aileron cable rubbing on everything in the centersection top. Soooooooooooo we lower the height of the last rid spar point from 4 inches above c/s level to 2 inches, this is a little short of 1 degree. It really makes the Piet look more like a Piet. Sorry to tie up so much time on the net. Maybe it will save someone some time when they reach this stage of building.Corky in La cooking some jambalaya for his bride tonite.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2002 18:23:29 -0700 (PDT)

I am a very centsitve ole man with tenderfeelings and when one compares me with others I always take offence. I will try to forgive this one time.On the dihedral bit, if you raise the wing tips the aileron cables also rise. The upper equalizer cable also rises in the center section. It's that simple. I had my wing tips so high that I just plum ran out of room.Corky in La with lower wing tips________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2002 23:03:55 -0500
