I was looking over the photo of the "Last Original" corvair powered Piet,that came with the plans from Don Pietenpol. Under the magnifying glass, Ican not see cross brace wires on the left side or the rights side of thefront cockpit. As plan as day are the cross wire braces for the front andrear of the cabanes, but NO side wires. I can even see the control cablesclearly. So what 's up with that? I thought you had to at least have oneside wire cross brace. Anyone want to comment and enlighten this perplexedPiet builder?Merrill________________________________________________________________________________

If you use the angled braces from wing front down to top engine mount, youdon't need the wires.walt---------------------------------------------------------- Original Message -----

Subject: Pietenpol-List: POR 15 - W. EvansThis product sounds like just the thing for the inside of the controlhorns,tube etc where the steel was scorched from the welding. No way tosand blast in there any way.

Dear perplexed Piet builder,Somewhere along the way someone, perhaps Bernie himself,modified the top motormount brackets and the forward upper cabane brackets to accept a tubular brace to hold the wing infore and aft position and deleted the side cross wires so as tomake entry and egress a lot more graceful, not to mention, just plain possible. Now, the cross wires need to be put in first, both sides, beforethe forward brace tubes are installed so that the wing may beadjusted to the proper position fore and aft for balancing. Thenwhen it is determined where the wing needs to be, the bracescan be made to proper length and installed and the wires removed.Or some more ingenious persons may compute the wing positionand make the braces adjustable and just go for it the first time.Either way, the whole idea is to allow ease of entry to the frontcockpit without causing harm to either the passenger or the plane.RodgerPiet in progress ________________________________________________________________________________
