Mike...I am surprised too to see how many Piets have flying wires that seem to be loose.I don't have any vibration with those. My tail wires don't seem to be verybad it's just that they all have about the same tension and if I tighten justone or two it kind of throws off the whole thing. I really don't want to tightenthem all because they 'feel' tight enough now, based on others I've felt.If Don Helmick felt it important that they have similar tension then I wouldbelieve him. He's been around the patch a few times with these things! Thanksagain Mike.Don EmchP.S. I moved my plane to York Field which is only a few minutes from my house soI'm not hangering with Frank anymore [Crying or Very sad] . I am going totry to make it over to Barber for the Fly-in this weekend though.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Re: cable vibration--tailsectionDate: Thu, 1 Jun 2006 22:48:49 -0400

Dick asks->Has anyone installed a spring on the Stromberg carb to bring it>to full open in case of a linkage failure in flight?No, but I've thought about it. The way my controls are set up, it would take a very stout spring to do that (figuring on worst case for a failure, at the pilot's throttle control end, the spring having to overcome the friction of the entire control string from end to end). I thought about some type of circular spring around the throttle shaft pivot as is used in some hedge clippers, but the easiest would be a regular coil spring. The problem becomes that the friction on the throttle controls then needs to be increased to hold a normal power setting against the spring.When you figure it out, tell me how you did it ;o)Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Re: cable vibration--tailsectionDate: Sun, 4 Jun 2006 17:18:56 -0400
