The Murphy Builders Site

Some time ago, someone (I think Al Paxia) was going to try using
Teleflex cable on a floor mounted flap handle for a SR or Moose. I
would also like to eliminate the pulleys and slot with fairing on top
and think the Teleflex cable would work. Has anyone tried this and do
you have any photos or sketches of the installation? How has it
performed and would you change anything? Also, what size Teleflex was
used and how and where did you attach it to the flap control tube?
Thanks to anyone with the info.

Hi Steve,
I just posted a couple of old pictures. The Teleflex is a marine engine
control cable and follows the path from the flap handle to the flap tube

a sweeping 180 degree turn. I used the bellcrank to change direction so

pull stroke deployed the flaps and push on the cable did the retraction.
System has been flawless for over 400 hours and over 300 landings.

Al:

Thanks for the pictures and the quick reply to my post! ! ! !
I'll be doing this mod to our moose. Looks like a nice install and will
save
cutting the roof and the cable in the centre of the rear fus. Will make
it a
lot easyer to get to the back to do any work.

By the way, it was nice to talk to you at OSH at the Fri. dinner. Should
have
said this before.

Al, yours has to be one of the higher time SR/Moose out there. Any issue
with the flap torque tube rivets? Have you heard anything about it? I
haven't finalized that part yet so I may just redesign to eliminate the
riveted tube if it is a problem.
