Jerry,I think you're on to something. If oil got in between the magnets, I bet some gunk got in the needle "bearing" area, too. That probably needs to be cleaned out.Ok, now Im not as worried as I was.Thanks again, everyone.Dan-- yocum(at)gmail.comOn Jun 10, 2010, at 6:09 PM, Jerry Dotson wrote:> >> Dan if the tach is steady...not bouncing around my $0.02 is either > the magnet is getting weak or the tach has internal friction.

its not the pass. inst. panel because on the drawing below it show the panel 15"back plus 6.25" back. thats 21.25". It's very close to the same location, buton the drawing asked about the 21.5" is showing the length of the dotted line,which is as we know a hidden detail. The only hidden details in this particulardrawing would be the gussets.Check out westcoastpiet.com for tons of high quality pics of high quality workon every single part of the plane if you haven't already done so. The only reasonI have not asked a ton of questions here is because pictures really are wortha thousand, in this case not only words but potentially dollars too.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Ben, I couldn't agree with you more on the seat back angle. Mr. Pietenpol must havefigured out in the previous airplanes he built that a more straight seat backangle was a good thing. I often find myself leaning a little off of the seatback to stay within the windshield better. Seldom do I find myself wanting tolean back. On landing the "at attention" angle is a very good thing. You suredon't want to be "at ease". Ha!Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sat, 12 Jun 2010 11:18:16 -0400

Bill,I angled my rear seat back two inches, back one inch at the top and forwardone inch at the bottom, which keeps the balance closer to original. I hadanother fuselage which I didn't utilize where I could simulate manydifferent angles. Also, when it comes to gussets and blocks, stay close toplans. For example I added a block (shown in link) thinking it would helpthe strength and found out later it made the cutting and installation of theV braces on the front seat harder to do. I had to place them in front ofthe seat and wanted to position to the rear of the seat. You can see here...http://textors.com/IMG_1939_640x427.jpg .
