Pietenpol-List: control cables clearing hardware

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: Doug413(at)aol.com
I have a question for the group,I've made everything to the prints for the three piece wing. Where thecontrol cables come over the pulley in the center section and head outthe wing, the cable comes very close to, or will rub on the head of thebolt of the wing attach bracket, that goes through to hold the wingcable bracing. The upper cable can be "guided" out gradually to thecenter center section. But at the point of question, it's right off thepulley, and there is no detouring it. I'm thinking of making a tube ofcopper that will guide the cable past this. Am I worring too much? What did you guys do?waltps. just had a 2 hour talk with a neighbor/friend who is a Bayonne NJfireman who came back from NYC. He stood like a zombe and talked, andtalked about what he saw. Concepts that I never imagined....like thecollapsing of the building like a huge bellows, that blew people on thestreet through front plate glass windows and out the back of thebuilding.They're still digging to recover the firetrucks that were parked at thesidewalks around the building, where many of the men were.Now I'm afraid they're dead, I'm afraid they're all dead.I said it last tuesday, and I'll say it again"May the people responsible for this, rot in Hell"________________________________________________________________________________

I just left it close, but not touching, and watch it on inspection. After four years and 100 hours, I have not had a problem.
