Tim, What about cables with turnbuckles? I would guess that thedrag/antidrag forces in the wing would be well under the tensil strengths ofsay 1/8 th inch cables. Of Course you have to deal with buying severalturnbuckles, huh? Wonder how the tensil capacities for cable stack upagainst that of threaded rod? Hmmm. might have to check on this more.What about it? any of you out there got an opinion? I'm not an A>)Thanks, Bert----- Original Message -----

Yeah, but Doug....If you're talking about 1020 steel rods with two tie rod ends at 10 buckseach, arent you still pretty much in the same ball park dolar-wise with onestrand of steel cable and a 16.00 turnbuckle. Just asking......Also how hard is it to thread these things. I've never tried to thread rodbefore. I know cable is easy to rig.Just asking.Thanks, Bert----- Original Message -----

Hi Bert; Did not use any tie rod ends.Read Lauren Williams post on the installdetails.Rods are simple to thread.I used 4 bays in each wing panel,notsaying that is the way you should do it,but is the way i did. Doug Hunt----------
