John; take a look at the picture athttp://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/Pb030024.jpgYour cable crossing probably looks similar. The cables get very close, but you should be able to tweak one of the horns enough to allow them to clear each other.I don't know that I'd use a 2 lb. hammer, though. Some people are so crude! ;o)Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net_________________________________________________________________FREE online classifieds from Windows Live Expo buy and sell with people you know ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: I found the VW Reduction infoDate: Fri, 9 Feb 2007 10:25:39 -0500

There is absolutely no way you could take off in that thing in a level condition without tearring that prop all to hell.You would have to hold the tail down and make a three point takeoff and landing and God help ya if there is any abnormalities in the field.You will be eating toothpicks for weeks!>From: "Bill Church" >Reply-To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>To: >Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: I found the VW Reduction info>Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2007 10:25:39 -0500>>Here's a link to the Valley Engineering website:>>http://www.culverprops.com/index.php>>And here's one of their webpages with video of a 66-foot take-off, using>a VW/PSRU.
