Pietenpol-List: Turnbuckles: correction!!!

Post by matronics »

I apologize for giving out wrong information on the size of cables and turnbuckleson 41CC. Wrong, wrong!!! I guess I didn't have my reading glasses on andit wasn't that light in the hangar, but checking everything again today, in thebright sunlight, confirmed that the wing strut cable braces, as well as thecabane X-braces, are 1/8" aircraft cable but the turnbuckle ends mike at 5/32".(Does that make them 10-32 thread?)The aileron, elevator, rudder, and tailwheel control cables are 3/32" cable. Thetail brace wires are 1/16" cable.My earlier point is still valid: there are no turnbuckles on 41CC that have 1/4"thread turnbuckle ends; they are all smaller than that.Just to pay my penance for giving out wrong information, I started up the engineand made one circuit of the airfield. "One ping only, Vasily". There weredove hunters all around the fields since the whitewing dove season is open, soI didn't care to fly too low, and we were just coming off a TFR since the Presidentand VP flew in to SA this afternoon, so I just went up and back. Windwas gusting from the NNE, somewhat of a x-wind, but we managed it and I do apologizefor the misinformation.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
