Cable guides for no inner floor aircraft
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 10:39 am
Hi All
I've just uploaded to Elite Control Systems a picture of some new cable
guides I've had made up by a friend who's into model engineering.
It's basically a 4" long piece of nylon with 1/2" spaced cable guide holes
in it, designed to fit over the 4" overlap in the floor rib joints on the
rear 3 ribs before the floor mounted pulleys. The slight cut-out in the base
allows the inner 3 of the 5 top rivets in the joint to remain, and the
bracket is held in place by the outer two rivets in each rib overlap.
Since I am not installing the inner floor, the RG-1's supplied would hold
the elevator cables too far apart to feed correctly into the rear pulleys if
mounted side by side on the ribs.
It may be useful for the Rebel/SR as well, but I'm not sure what these
designs are like.
He will make up some more if anyone is interested, let me know direct (
admin@airnig.co.uk ).
