Re: KR> Elevator and rudder cable tension

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

Re: KR> Wing Airfoils

The nearest printer for me is over 2 hours away. I imported the coordinates into a program called Compu-foil 3D and printed them myself. The neatest thing is it's a very inexpensive program and very intuitive. I printed templates for the horizontal and vertical stabilisers as well. http://www.comp

KR> Elevator and rudder cable tension

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. Pete Klapp, N729PK ___ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.

Re: KR> Air Facts

Usually I glance through an article and read some of the comments before diving into the article. Wow! There were as many troll comments as here on KRnet ,making the article a must read. It was indeed a great yarn - that Mike defends as true. I guess we can chalk it up to youth, the 70’s,

Re: KR> gluing foam to foam with urethane glue and lightweight spackling

The only things I occasionally like in Sport Aviation is the Experimenter section in the back. I used to subscribe to Experimenter, their publication for homebuilders, until they discontinued it. Sport Aviation seems to be mostly about restoring esoteric warbirds and giving plane rides to little

KR> gluing foam to foam with urethane glue and lightweight spackling

Mikes article and Larry's video are both worth the time to read and watch. I didn't know Mike was a smooth and comical of an author as he apparently is. And Larry gets an 'atta Boy' for the nice job on the video. -Jeff Scott ___ Search the KRnet Arc
