[NSRCA-discussion] Pull Pull Cable Tension Question

[Bob Harden]

Hello Larry,

The cables need to be snug, just to the point where there is tension in them (when the servo and rudder is centered); no slack. Over time the cables will stretch and you will see some slack, then you will have to tighten them again. Depending upon your setup, one side may show slack as you operate the rudder (this could be due to servo arm or rudder control arms not being the same lengths). So far in my experience this hasn't been a problem with a slight mismatch in those lengths during operation as long as the rudder cables are tight when the rudder (and servo) are at center.

Maybe others could chime in here too with their experiences.

Bob

  Getting ready to string some cables.

   

  How tight do the cables need to be? Too loose causes flutter I think and to tight start folding the fuse in half.

   

  I have never had to do this before..
