Kirk,Here is my 0.02 worth;I used 1/16 cable with turnbuckels at H Stab.The V Stab fitting has no room for turn buckles or shackles as two cablesare attached on one fitting with holes very close togetherThe cable goes direct through the fitting hole (with a AN 100 thimble) andno shackle.The H stab connection is the forked end of the turnbuckel and correspondingclevis pinHans Kirk Huizenga pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com Sent by: cc owner-pietenpol-l ist-server@matron Subject ics.com Pietenpol-List: Tail bracing turnbuckles 04/18/2006 11:47 AM Please respond to pietenpol-list@ma tronics.com Is there any reason to pick one placement of the turnbuckles on the tailbracing wires over another. In other words, does it make any difference ifthe turnbuckle is on the V stab fitting or out on the H Stab fitting. Theplans show them out on the H stab, but it doesn't seem like it would makeany difference to me.Thanks for the inputKirkKirk HuizengaCommunity Expertkirk.huizenga(at)moundsviewschools.org651.482.8203________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Science-engineering and accuracyDate: Tue, 18 Apr 2006 13:13:20 -0400

Hello everyoneI'm new to the list. This is my first posting.The question I have may have been covered in the past in this forum, but I haven'tcome across it, so here goes. Is it possible to construct an aircamper orskyscout from the plans found in the old Flying and Glider Manuals? There arelots of missing dimensions and contradicting info. in these plans and instructions.Do the later plans address enough of these problems to justify their purchase,or are they simply larger scale drawings? I'm currently drafting out the plans on AutoCad to check the dimensions and createfull size plots for jigs. Will this be enough to begin and complete one ofthese planes?Brown Gravyaka: MannyRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Flying and GliderDate: Tue, 18 Apr 2006 15:20:30 -0400

I am sure you can.As long as you keep the engine flooded with coolant you might need to add aexpansion tank/reservoir above the engine.This will add weight and complexity.The radiator will need to be fully closed (no fill cap), like an oilcooler.Can not use a standard automotive radiator.BHP applied the KISS principle despite the increase in drag.Simple = safetyPersonally I fly the air-cooled Corvair, slightly more complex than aContinental, but cheap and less complicated than any water cooled engine.Hans "Brown Gravy" To Sent by: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com owner-pietenpol-l cc ist-server@matron ics.com Subject Pietenpol-List: Model A radiator location 04/19/2006 09:52 AM Please respond to pietenpol-list@ma tronics.com Has anyone tried an alternate location for the radiator on Model A poweredPiets?
