Looks good Jeff, I think I see two pulleys and I assume you will fit with acable guard. I'm doing the rudder cable routing now which can go manydifferent ways.JackDSM-----Original Message-----

I'm trying to understand what is going on here (see photo)... I can see that thereis a deflection because the line doesn't remain straight, and I understandthat you are pointing out that there is limited friction involved with the bottomcable, but is this cable routed below the fuse cross member or is there somekind of rub block mounted to the other side of the pulley? I know that itmust be contacting something, just not sure how you are doing this.--------Mark ChouinardWings, Center Section and Empannage framed up - Working on FuselageRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/cabl ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: controls

the elevator cables from the rear control stick torque to the bellcrank won't clearthe bottom seat crossmember so i added those two pulley to keep the cablesoff of that crossmember..quite a deflection from the upper cable.... not somuch from the lowerjeffRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: controls
