Iflew over some really neat little field (I think I "tagged" it with my GPS) abouthalf way that is a base for hunting lodges or something.

Pietenpol-List: Push Pull Elevator?
Original Posted By: "Jack Phillips"
I am wondering if anyone has detailed pictures of the "BIg" Piets push pull elevatorsetups? i saw them at EAA and would like to study the design. The piet iam finishing has a push pull set up already in it, i would just like to comparethe designs. Also, has anyone run the rudder control horn below the elevatorto give a more straight line to the rudder bar? Again mine is already builtthat way and it seems to me there will be allot of twisting action of the rudderif not mounted centered. Thanks in advance!ChrisRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Chris,When it comes to the Pietenpol, just about EVERY idea has been tried at least once- well, except some of Michael Perez's ideas...
. Just kidding, Michael.The lowered rudder horn is one of the modifications commonly done in the UK. Inorder to compensate for the torsion imposed on the rudder, the structure getsbeefed up, as indicated in the attached, poor image quality sketch.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/rudd ... __________

Chris, the GN-1 plans show the rudder horn below the elevators but the bottom of the rudder is beefed up pretty well. Pobably adds a bit of weight but I think it's worth it-- I'm doing my rudder that way. I just don't like the looks of the rudder cables going up above the stab/elev. C----- Original Message -----
