My Piet has all the major parts on and all the controls are operational. Locatingthe cable exit holes is up in the air for me. I will get major heartburn takinga hobby knife and slicing a hole in new fabric. Is there a sure fire way?Am I worrying for naught?Kevin I thought of you yesterday afternoon. Two Blackhawks were cruising alongabout 150 feet. I was hoeing in the garden about 200 feet from my windsock. Asthey passed by about 300 feet away I tipped my cap to them and when I did theBlackhawk nearest me pulled up 60 then banked about 75 left turning in frontof me. When the other one saw what he was doing he did similar maneuvering. Thatmade my day! We have a lot of military traffic here at low altitude.... T34C,TH-57, C-130, and V-22.

Let's do some figgerin' here: it's about 1000 air miles from San Antonioto Brodhead and I never was able to make it there. It's about 1700 air milesfrom Medford to Brodhead. Wonder if I'll ever make it there?More figgerin': 1700SM divvied up by 60MPH (keeping the math simple) gives28 hours. I'll probably get to watch three, mebbe four sunrises on the wayfrom Oregon to Wisconsin, each way. As Dan Yocum knows, that's a lot oftime in the saddle... but stranger things have happened.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"San Antonio, TXwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Determining cable exit holes

I shall notify the authorities immediately! Completely inappropriate and unprofessionalbehavior from my Blackhawk brethren.:)You're worrying for naught. Take your measurements from a point you can identifywith covering on, make good notes, and slice away when the time comes. Leatherpatches are a nice way to solve any small inaccuracies.--------Kevin "Axel" PurteeNX899KPAustin/Georgetown, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2011 08:07:26 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Determining cable exit holes

Thanks to All,Bill, I had not thought about an air leak but the discoloration on the head atthe top edge of #3 does indicate there could be a leak there.Yes, the cylinders were painted by the previous owner. I am somewhat embarrassedto admit that I have had this project since summer of 2005. It has residedinside my shop but upstate ny can be humid at times and I do get rusting on mytools if I don't keep them wiped down. 5 cylinders show paint with no signof rust but the 6th looks like the paint is slightly deteriorated and rust isshowing up. Not obvious but it is there. I surmise that the temp exceeded whatthe paint was rated for and reduced its effectiveness. I have emailed the pictures to WW and called, but he is a difficult man to sometimesget a hold of. That is why I thought I would get some input here on theforum.Thanks again.Jon Coxwell--------Jon Coxwell GN-1 BuilderRecycle and preserve the planetRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Determining cable exit holes

I asked that question of the builder of a sleek little antique homebuilt. Hiscables exited through a hole in the fabric no bigger than a 22 shell. He basicallydid what Brad is describing. He installed cables and measured before coveringand made a template for each side. That reminds me I need to do the samebefore covering.Jon Coxwell--------Jon Coxwell GN-1 BuilderRecycle and preserve the planetRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
