Pietenpol-List: elevator/rudder control cable tension and slack

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "Alex Sloan"
How many pounds should the elevator and rudder control cables be set to?Also, is it common for the elevator cables to lose some tension and slackwhen actuating the stick?For instance.... my elevator "up" pull cable is tight when pulling thestick back, but the "down" pull cable loses some tension and slacksslightly. Is this a bad thing?DJ VeghN74DVMesa, AZwww.imagedv.com/aircamper________________________________________________________________________________
