For any interested parties, I have just updated my web site. Added a fewmore elevator construction and engine pics. Progress has been a bit slowthe past few weeks. Work around the house has kept me busy!http://home.cogeco.ca/%7Epietbuilder/index.htmKenGN1 2992Canada________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 27 May 2003 15:18:40 GMTSubject: Pietenpol-List: Rudder Bar and Pedal

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Rudder Bar and Pedal 1. 1/4" bolt is fine for the support.2. I've never used curved pieces, it isn't necessary. Just heat up andflatten with the vise. Reheat as necessary and flatten some more. Theedges are slightly bulged where the metal is rounded down onto itself, Idon't think I would try to get them perfectly flat, you're just asking tocrack it.3. Smoke from a wood jig does not contaminate. I have built rudder pedalsthat way before. For my Piet, though, I now have a magnetic square forholding just such things perfectly aligned. Most tool catalogs have them.4. I would think one 3/16 bolt on each side is enough. I am still tryingto figure out how I am going to attach mine.Just another opinion,Gene________________________________________________________________________________
