Subject: Pietenpol-List: Needle little helpDear Pieters,Have had a great day making up all my elevator cables and fabing the little fairleads in some neutral spot so the cables will not wander inches through the fabric. What should this tensions on those elvator cable compare to and should they be equal tensioned. Boy, I sure could use some help today.Corky wandering around in "Sportsman Paradise".________________________________________________________________________________

I turns out to be not very tight on any of the flight control cables; certainly not rigged as a modern airplane is. Flies well that way.
