| I designed Heel Brakes shown here. With all the other stuff going on under the front seat, it's pretty busy under there, They work Very Well, hold for Mag Drop Test, but not a full power run. They have been easy to get used to, and reliable. |

| The control system of a Pietenpol is well designed in that it is simple, and relatively easy to build. In flight, they are responsive, and well harmonized in all axis. |
| The control stick is built to the plans, however, I removed the link to the front stick, and as of now, I still don't have the front controls installed in the front pit. I need the room to carry all the 'stuff' I need for long cross country trips, and I'm not ready for my passenger to KILL ME !!! As seen in the left picture, I used Motorcycle Master Links to attach the Nico-Press fittings. I used 3/32" cable throughout the pitch control system. The right picture shows the Bell Crank. It is plans built and located, which gives the typical Pietenpol routing for the cables to the Flippers, with the cables rubbing on the leading edge of the Horizontal Stabilizer. |
