Howdy again, folks; since I'm on the digest I don't see posts for a day or so. So... this may be a repeat of something already posted but I got my current issue of the SAA's publication, "To Fly" in yesterday's mail and just had to post this for those who haven't seen it yet. And it's always a good ending to a day to get home and find a flying mag in the mailbox, isn't it?!Some really nice pictures (two-page spread, all color pictures) of a Piet project. It's on the gear (using stock short-wing Piper gear off a Tri-Pacer if I recall, except the gear are reversed), and has an interesting brake master cylinder setup for the pilot. Interesting because it mounts the master cyl. diagonally up the side of the front cockpit with a toe brake pedal, and uses a rudder bar for the pilot. Also interesting in the way he provided stops and "guides" for the rudder bar. The setup provides positive limit stops for the rudder but also prevents foot action from pushing the rudder bar down. Plenty of interesting details, and I sat peering at the photos for probably 30-45 minutes while my wife wondered what the heck was so interesting.He's also got a step recessed into the port side fuselage aft of the pilot's seat bottom, and other nifty touches. Photos clearly show a "Mike Cuy"- style trim lever under the pilot's seat, but no details.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
