I am about ready to cover my center section on the GN-1 I got from D.J. but amconcerned how I can rig my aileron cables and get to them once it is time to rigup.i had intentions of running them through the top pulleys in the center sectionand down in the open and install the turnbuckles where they are easilyreached and safety wired.but if I have much of anything on the end of the cablesI can't very well remove the cables and wings once they are rigged withoutcutting them.so my only option I can see is to put openings under the center sectionto reach in and complete the hook-up ahead of the pulleys.that is - betweenthe wing root and pulley.is there any way to get two hands through two inspectionrings and connect and safety them up without amputation ? I'm thinkingabout some large fabricated door for access under there that would allow prettywell the whole width and at least 8 inches front to back to do it.anyone gotbetter ideas? also a simple connection to hook the top cross cables togetherwithout the expense of another turnbuckle-I have thought of using somethinglike a motorcycle chain master link and go through the nico-pressed loops to linkthem together.will this get by an inspection? seems like under ExperimentalAmateur built it should.I hear about guys fabricating home made turnbuckleswith wire and allen screws and it for sure should be strongest than that.justwouldn't allow for adjustment so the final connections would need to be at theaileron horns and set right.RaymondRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2008 19:41:36 -0400
