Being a bit short torso'd,well, maybe short all over.I was 5' 8 1/2" when younger but now seem tohave lost an inch of that somehow. Anyway,thismeans that my shoulders don't stick up abovethe turtle deck. THAT means my shoulderharness can safely route through the top edge ofthe seat back. I have cabled the two straps intoone that goes back to the tail post. The rod thatfits is 12" dia 6061-T6 alum. The black bits on thetail rod are rubber tube lengths to keep the cablecentered.If you need them higher and also don't want to cutinto the back then possibly my first idea mightgive you a start. That's the drawing. The bumpswere going to be fabric covered balsa.Clif> I've seen several Piets and they do NOT have shoulder harnesses - just > seat belts. Does anyone use a 4-point harness in the back seat or is it > tradition to use only a lap belt?since the seat back is built-in to the frame - there will have to be some serious wood cutting to install the shoulder harness..> Jim McWhorter> N687MB (New Owner)> Culpeper, VA KCJR________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Telegram

Jim,I see you have two (VNE) speeds. I think the 100 MPH should be the correct one.You may want to do your own testing to see if all the different numbers domatch your planes performance. What better way to learn about your new plane.Have fun flying and wear that open cockpit smile with pride.Cheers,--------Scott LiefeldFlying N11MS since March 1972Steel TubeC-85-12Wire WheelsBrodhead in 1996Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Telegram
