[rebel-builders] Cable tensions - Was:control cable turnbuck

[Jason Beall]

Jesse,

EAA has a good video on safetying turnbuckles under the 'Hints for Homebuilders' video section. See if this link works:

http://www.eaa.org/video/homebuilders.h ... 9739778001

If not, it's torward the bottom of the videos on the 'General' tab.

Regards,

-Jason

I just set up my cables too and I set the turnbuckles up to
have 4 turns inside the barrel (max for initial set up per
ac 4313) this leaves a good amount of adjustment either way.
I also made tangs for the pedal/cable attachment with 3
holes 1/2" apart. So far I don't think I will have to use
any of the built in adjustability, but we'll see. Now all I
have to do is figure out how to safety wire those
turnbuckles.

Show me a builder who's never over analyzed _anything_

(if you can find one)

and the plane... and I'm guessing I probably wouldn't

want to fly in it.

Probably best to not leave more than 3 threads on each

side before you hand

tighten the cable for the front Nicopress, because

when you come to

balancing or fine tuning everything, including the

return spring tension,

you may actually want to loosen one side to keep both

pedals even with each

other and the rudder centered. Next thing you know you

have to make another

one. Been there.

Hang in there. As I've said before, it turns out all

the hard work and

delayed gratification really is ecstasy in the bank,

which comes back with

geometrically compounded interest.
