>One (of the three) pushtubes for the elevator in my KR-2 is 63 inches long by 1 1/4 diameter by .125 wall. It seems heavy and overdone, but my KR-2 shed 6 pounds in the process of removing the cable system and replacing with pushrods for the ailerons and elevator. Virtue and peace of mind are their own rewards. >Sid Wood, Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sid, How did you measure the 6 pounds saved? Several components stay in the system , pushrods or cable. It seems to me that if you removed all the cable in the system and replaced it with nothing you'd have trouble dropping 6 pounds. I'm not questioning your honesty here, just your scales. :-) Larry Flesner Carterville, Illinois
