Sorry, John. We're being cheeky again. I think many folks (including myself)use the 2" pulleys with no issues. If you're uncomfortable with that you'll needto redesign the system to accommodate the larger pulleys. I am NOT an experton cable control systems, but I have successfully built and flown a Pietenpolwith a plans-built control system.Up to you, my brother. If 2" pulleys is the only sin you commit I'll test flyit for you if you'll let me. Heck, I'll fly off the 40 hours.for what it's worthKevin--------Kevin "Axel" PurteeNX899KPAustin/Georgetown, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Control surfaces

I read one post where the writer said he glued small blocks of wood on the floor where the aileron activating control horn would be stopped so that it would limit aileron travel. Apparently he thought the aileron travel was too great. I think he wanted to stop the moving aileron spar from banging against the stationary one.----- Original Message -----
