[rebel-builders] Moose: Elevator / Rudder cable runs/pulleys
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 4:56 pm
guys it looks like you have done a very nice job,but why go through
all that work to make something that is very simple into something
very complicated,every time you add something you give one more point
of failure,you can not inspect the cables very well,or change them
when needed,you have just added extra wieght!.be careful its not a 747
and when your done dont be surprised at the wieght.

I posted pics of both Dick Wampach's and my implementation of running the
elevator & rudder cables along the floor until aft of bulkhead E at this
address: http://www.i1ci.com/pulleys/index.html. Dick did an OUTSTANDING
job and provided the inspiration for me on this project.
Please email Dick (rwampach@comcast.net) or me (ted@i1ci.com) if you would
like more info/descriptions of individual pictures.

Hi Ted,
I'd be very interested in seeing those pics. I intend on doing the sane
thing.
Thanks,
Fred

pulleysI changed the cable runs so they were just above the floor (like 1/4" inch
above) until a few inches behind bulkhead E, then I use two sets ofato change direction. I can supply pics if anyone is interested. Dick
Wampach did the same thing (his original idea in fact).

Nice bulkhead baggage retainer. I will use something similar on my Rebel.
I do note that the cables (on the Moose?) run under the top floor. Is that
Standard on the Moose or something that you did yourself?
Thanks for the picture.

I uploaded a pic (Area 109 - S/M Interiors) of one of my baggage area
vinyl/canvas bulkhead closure fixtures (long description, but I don't know
what to call it). Will have lightweight materials (e.g. sleeping bags,
jackets, pillows) in the extended area b/t bulkheads C & E. Hence this
"fixture" helps to insure those light yet bulky materials don't slide back
into the tailcone area.
Have another similar "fixture" to install at bulkhead C (obviously forward
of the one you see in the attached picture) to keep heavier stuff from
sliding back toward the tail. Also have baggage area tie-down fixtures in
the floor for the main baggage area to insure heavy stuff doesn't move
around in flight.
I went to a custom canvas shop (they make boat stuff), originally to findfittings,different type of fastener. Ended up with this arrangement after talking
at
length with one of the owners of the shop. Got screwed (in my opinion) on
price for two of them fully made up (borders, reinforced patches,etc) but at least they look professional. Some type of heavy-duty vinyl
that is the same stuff used for truck covers (so they tell me). Really
heavy duty material.
