I have the torque tube, control sticks and the rudder bar installed. I am concernedwith the movement of my {PILOTS} stick fore and aft {elevator}. And especiallyleft and right{ailerons}. I need to know the degree of deflection of elevatorin degrees [up and down]. I also need to know how much stick deflectionis needed to move my ailerons. Since my Piet is built per plans, the control rodthat ties the two sticks together has caused a lesser movement going to theleft.{this control rod hits the seat back "V" cutout} This limits the stick deflectiongoing fully to the left}. My control stick also hits the seat backat 24 degrees and goes back 30 plus degrees. At present I do not have any cablesinstalled yet.

If you don't have them, try to get copies of Tony Bingelis books, especially "SportplaneConstruction and Techniques", and "The Sportplane Builder". He addressesmany issues, including gussets.--------JohnRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Gusset plywood grain orientation
