Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Piet. cablesPieters, I wonder what cables you guys are using. 1/8th or 3/32 and do you use stainless or the regular stuff. I know that there are different nicrofor each. Also which wire design is best like 7 x7 or something different. Thanks, Ken in cool Iowa with some snow________________________________________________________________________________

KenYou will find differing opinions on this, as everything. I used 3/32" galvanized on drag and anti drag in wing. 1/8" x 7/19galvanized on controll cables, especially ones that have to make turns thru pulleys. Stainless 1/8" on things that show in obvious places. Most importantly, 1/19x 1/8" on cross brace cables for fixed landing gear. Initially, I used 7x19 and had a cable failure.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----
