I'd say match the tension on your other Piet. If it's been flying, can't gowrong there.Other than that, it's pretty much a "feeling" thing. you don't want themany tighter than necessary to eliminate any possibility of the elevatormoving independently of the stick. We're talking about from the rockingbeam back to the actual elevator. You'll find it's actually fairly loose.Prop the elevator up when adjusting or the weight of the elevator will foolyou and create more tension on the upper cableDouwe________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2016 16:49:53 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Rebuilding plus questions about elevator cabletension
