The following are drawings of the design for the various control wires in the Pietenpol. These are only designs at the moment and have not been installed. Since drawing these up and ordering the fittings I have decided on the AN 100-4 method rather than swaging the ends. My local supplier wanted A$25 to swage each end.
Please note reference to the AN170 being an MS21254 should read MS21255.
The complete Visio Drawing is avalable here.
The Control Cables are now fitted (with the exception of the ailerons).
Bellcrank for elevator control lines
Passenger Seat Engine Controls. Both sets of controls need something to stop the “outers” of the Bowden cables from moving
I decide to change the controls from the Bowden Cable type to Rod type. Much more precise. (I’ll get a better picture of this)
Brake cable exiting the fuselage.
Note the rust on the undercarriage legs. Just goes to show what salty seaside air can do to 4130 Steel left uncovered. The legs will be blasted and powder coated on final assembly.
