I am going to replace some control cables (and possibly all of them) in my KR2. The reason is I have damaged one of them while removing the WAFs. Now, the current cables are stainless steel, 2mm diameter (that is 0.07 inch), and I suspect the local airworthiness authorities are not going to like that cable size. So, I checked the literature about control cables. Could not find anything in the construction manual, so I checked Tony Bingelis. He says standard size for all control cables, no matter for which aircraft they are, are 3.2mm (1/8"). Now, that is a surprise. I thought the cable size would be adjusted to the aircraft specifics somehow.
So, should I go for 1/8", then? Serge Vidal KR2 ZS-WEC Paris, France
