Subject: RE: pulleys Dannymac, I received several responses to my question on control surfacedeflections. But, none answered the question I had. So, knowing youall have expertise in Piets, Let me ask my question again. What shouldthe control surface deflection be for the ailerons, rudder and elevator? If possible, the number of degrees would be most helpful. Thanks for your response. Bill

I used pully sizes and cable sizes per the plans....Earl MyersDid you get your gear gage sizes straightened out?-----Original Message-----

Dmac; As someone pointed out, your control limits on the ailerons are mostlimited by your thighs......! That is a very non-scientific answer butit is true! In my case when I run out of travel, I just stick my arm outinto the breeze on the downwing side and cup my hand........good trimdevice!Earl MyersPS: Iron Mike Cuy does this too but he uses his ears, one at atime.............(hi mike) -----Original Message-----

Subject: Pietenpol-List: pulleysI have finished a beautiful control tube but unfortunately spaced the pulley tabs for phenolic pulleys that will only take 3/32" cable. Looks like I will be doing this part over again like I have done with almost every other part. In ordering new pulleys, I see that there are UHMW plastic pulleys available and wanted to know if these 2" pulleys would be acceptable for the control tube. Searched the archives and couldn't find much discussion specific to thistype of pulley.Thanks,Craig Carter________________________________________________________________________________

Craig,I did the same thing. I got Mr. Dremmel to give me a hand. In two minutes thewrong tabs were off, and I was making new ones.I love my Dremmel toolwalt evansNX140DL ----- Original Message -----
