Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: coverd wire wheels & DVD recorders Mike, You must have misunderstood me. I was wondering exactly what the material is that the wheels are covered with. Is it fabric?Ron************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Ok next question-what are you guys using as size for the brace cables that runin the same plane as the wing struts-(the X brace cables.) I cannot find sizeor rigging drawing on the GN-1 plans.I am sure I got the idea that 3/16" cablewas called for, but have talked to a pietenpol flyer using 1/8" cables.Anybodythat could help me I'd apreciate it-I have the Carleson aluminum wing strutsand would like to know the X-brace cable will take their share if the load.alsoanyone with a good price on turnbuckles out there?RaymondRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2007 16:17:45 -0500

1/8" is very adequate. No need to go heavier.Dick N.----- Original Message -----
