Thanks Bill It was exciting to lay out the longhorns yesterday. BTW, I can't believe what SitkaSpruce costs these days... the truck showed up with my wood order and I kepttelling him " there has to be another box in there"...

Oh, I just noticed that the seller says it turns over 360 degrees, so that mightindicate it hasn't thrown a rod or destroyed its insides.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Some recent metalwork from the UK

Hi Phil,I see your trim tab. Mine is located in the rear most bay, under the horizontal. I have had mine for more than 30 years. It works very well. I have a tensionspring on one horn, a single cable going to the cockpit , attaching to thelever and another tension spring on the lever. The springs work against eachother to keep the cable tight. Very light weight. We got the idea of this type of trim tab from the Pre-war T-Craft. You will likeit. At this point I would consider moving yours back to the next bay. Itwill be more effective because of the longer arm. It will also be out of theway and people won't be walking into it. I believe there are pics of mine at www.westcoastpiet.com Cheers,--------Scott LiefeldFlying N11MS since March 1972Steel TubeC-85-12Wire WheelsBrodhead in 1996Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2016 14:05:48 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Some recent metalwork from the UK
