Pietenpol-List: 1/16th tail brace wires

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: Michael Perez
I've heard this discussion before.Lots of guys have used 3/32nd on the tail wires because they are abused inthe turbulent air, and are relatively important. The idea being the thickercable will withstand vibration better over time.Some guys have used 1/16th because the rated strength grossly exceeds thestrength of the wooden structure they support.Some guys have used the original hard wire per the plans.My question is this. Has anyone EVER experienced a busted, or busting1/16th cable on their tail assembly?Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2012 06:39:09 -0700 (PDT)

God wasn't ready for Kevin yet and now the hospital turns him away too. I guesswe get to keep him around for awhile ;o) This is good news indeed. I am convincedthat rapid healing has a good deal to do with one's state of mind, determinationto move on, and refusal to throw pity parties. Somebody remind meof that when I'm hurting and just want some sympathy and stroking ;o)Safe journey back home...--------Oscar ZunigaMedford/Ashland, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: 1/16th tail brace wires
