Brodhead Pietenpol Association

Hi all. I came across something that isn't really detailed on the plans, andwhich every Piet builder seems to do differently. Where are the cablesfor tachometers, water temp guage, etc. routed? The plans seem toindicate that the throttle linkage should go through the left fuselageside (plywood) and under the fabric to the engine, but no mention ofthese other cables. (No throttle in the front 'pit on the originalplans..). It looks like Bernie routed stuff along the former which isattached to the ply fuselage side.I've seen where many builders route all of these cables through thefront 'pit, then hide them with some wood panels. I guess this mightmake replacement easier, but still seems to clutter the sides of thefront cockpit. I'd like to avoid having too much 'stuff' hanging out inthe passenger area...Any thoughts?-- ----------------------Mr. Carmen A.

What kind of camping arrangements at Broodhead?We will be pulling our bike with our Camper which we will be staying in. My wifesays the trip on the bike every 5 years is enough as we did it in June 1993 and1995 and we aren't getting any younger.This will be a great chance for us to see more Piets and take pictures so we buildours to the highest safety standard. We plan to be at Corona in April also.My friend Paul flew into EAA last year from Ca with his Air Force Col. friend andgave me a second by second account of the landing which was AWSOME I was sittinghere on my computer reading it as I gripped the chair.GordonLooking for Model "A" Engine________________________________________________________________________________

Hi Carmen: Looking at the same issue while I'm under construction. Presentlylooking at several PVC type computer cable items that are available invarious colors and dimensions. Most are black and oblong in cross-sectionand of a considerable length and strong enough to be walked on in an officeenvironment. Found these in a woodworkers mail order catalogue for makingcomputer furniture. I am also looking at computer cable type plugs at thefirewall for the electrical connectors and expect to end up with a wire loomplan before I begin the electrical. Still reviewing various optionshowever.Warren"Mr. Carmen A.
