CTE

[W. Eddie Batchelor]

I see a reference to 40# Kevlar, which triggers a question. 
What strength Kevlar is needed. The airplane pull-pull system I've seen state 100#. I've read you can use Spiderwire fishing Kevlar but the strongest I've seen in that is 65#.

This may be a dumb question, but I'm attempting to setup elevator pull-pull for the 1st time & don't want to creat a problem with line that's too small.

thanks Eddie

  I weighed a carbon pushrod once that was ready to install and weighed around 1.5 ounces and I believe the 
  40 lbs. coated fishing line stuff weighed only a few grams...Kevlar would probably weigh only a couple of grams.

  Have fun,
  Amir

         Gray what is the CTI for balsa ? I have carbon push rods / balsa fuse and my elev trim moves around considerably. I suppose it is because of humidity variation between the shop and outdoors ?? The pushrods are 50" long.      NatPenton
