I used a Piper Cherokee emergency brake master cyl. The assy has a hand lever.One cyl controlls both wheels. With a steerable tailwheel I havent had the needfor individual brakes.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----

Subject: Pietenpol-List: safety strap-torque tube 7.50 BARRACUDA_HEADER_FP56 RBL: Blacklist bl.spamcop [Blocked - see ]Ditto what G. Hansen said, but also if you brazed the mounting strap onto the torque tube bearing tubing as shown on the plans it's probably agood idea to have the safety strap. Remember the discussions aboutbrazing 4130 a year or so ago? I left all of my brazed parts on theplane. I figure since hundreds of Piets have been flown with brazedparts(since Don Piet. is still selling old plans without corrections -even safety notations, like "don't braze 4130"- ( mild steel ok tobraze) I think brazed parts are ok, but still, install the safety strap.Leon S.

Bert: thanks very much. I'm a volunteer for an air museum, working on constructingan Air Camper. I'll review these pics with the boss on Wednesday. We neverthought of go-cart brakes, but it sounds like a great idea. Thanks verymuch for your input, and for yourr great web-site. Your plane sure looks like a beauty. I clicked on the "what's a GN-1" link, butdidn't look like any info came up. So, what is a GN-1, as compared to an AirCamper, anyway?Thanks, and best regards,John Smoyer ----- Original Message -----
