Subject: Pietenpol-List: Rudder PedalsI am in the process of installing the rudder pedal in the front cockpit. On the plans they are tilted towards the back of the plane(if you aresitting in the front seat the tops are tilted towards you when the rudderis centered). I was testing them out before I drilled the holes and theyseemed to be awkward to use. Has anyone on the list used the front seatruder pedals while flying and do you have an opinion on the way they feelwhen flying? I think they would be better if they were vertical or slantedaway from you. Does this make any sense it's still early out here inCalifornia and I was up late building.Corky what does your Test Pilot think of them?Chris Sacramento, CAThe best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!Surf the web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER!The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!Surf the web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER!________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2003 20:15:51 GMTSubject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Bolts

If one parts being held with the bolt rotates then it needs to be fastenedwith a drilled bolt shank and castle nut and a cotter pin or safety wire.If the pieces are being held together do not rotate, then a nylon lock nutis sufficient (firewall forward excluded in some cases)DJ VeghN74DVMesa, AZwww.imagedv.com/aircamper----- Original Message -----

I should have been more clear.... I meant safety wire in a drilled bolt head toprevent rotation.... thanks for the clarification
