Hey Pete, When i was finishing up I actually bought a cable tension tool. There is just a bit to much give in systems at least with pullys and aluminum brackets to use the tension gage. I ended up just making it as tight as I could with out causing any undo distortion on any bracket or pulley. I call it the tang test. The cables should give a low resonance. I have not retensioned anything in a 1000 hours. I do check pretty often just to reassure myself.

Netters Any thoughts on cable tension? All cables both elevator and rudder are straight pulls, no pulleys in the systems. Any information gladly appreciated, thanks in advance.
