HelloToday my trip to aircraft spruce in Brantford Can. I picked up1 little bag and 750.00 worth of cable, thimbles, clevises, copper sleeves, turnbucklesand a couple of tools. When I got home I was just like a kid at Christmastime opening up the little packages. The problem is once I put together theturnbuckles they seem way to big. Size 155-32L With 170 eye and 161 fork Thelength with eye and fork screwed all the way in is 6 inches.I have one I bought that was a 155-16s and it looks way to small.I am using 1/8th 7-19 cable throughout the plane. I was wondering if any one couldhelp me out with the turnbuckle size? Thanks Larry VRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Got mine from Tower Hobbies... 10-32 type. Mine are also not flight tested either (full scale), but I've flown many high performanceR/C aircraft and they have never given me trouble backing our or looseningwhen properly installed. Based upon the rib spacing, I would guess that mine are 7-8" apart too. --------Mark ChouinardWings, Center Section and Empannage and Fuse framed up - Working on Landing GearRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: turnbuckle size
