Subject: | Horizontal stabilizer cable thimble worn |
I have a few questions. My cable thimbles are worn quite a bit. How have others
attached the stabilzer cables. They have the thin 16ga or so tab where the cable
thimble rides on. I was thinking of going to a small clevis just so there's
more "meat" there. Also, how much tension should there be on these cables?
Thanks,
Tony
BTW, solo'd last night for the first time and it felt great. 6 more T and L's and
1.5 hrs of solo and i'll have my ultralight permit.

Tony:
Those tabs and cable thimbles have always been high wear items because they
were not meant to be used as we use them on our Kolbs.
Somebody has a photo of the system I came up with, some years ago, that put
a stop to that problem. I have had tabs wear all the way through thimbles
to the cable before I discovered the problem.
I am in a bit of a rush, at the moment. Try doing a search of the Kolb List
Archives for tail wire bracing, etc., if someone does not have ready access
the the photo.
Congratulations on your solo. Always an adrenalin rush and a feeling of
significant accomplishment. For me, anyhow. ;-)
Take care,

Sorry, did a search for the thimbles and found my answers. What size of turnbuckle
would people recommend for this?

I flew with a friend in a rented C152 this morning. The FBO had a can of PLEXO
I used to clean the windshield. It is a knock-off of Plexus and a lot cheaper.
It seemed to work about as well as Plexus. I found this website where it is sold;
there may be others.

Also, I've noticed that Plexus smells almost indentical to Lemon Pledge. I suspect
it might actually just be a very expensive can of Lemon Pledge. I'm going
to pick up a can of LP and compare them on some scrap plastic to see what happens....

Lucien,
I used to use Lemon Pledge and it worked pretty well but in my experience it is
not as good as Plexus or Plexo or perhaps some others similarly formulated. Cleaning
the windshield and other leading edges after every flight, regardless
of the product, makes the whole chore pretty easy. Aged bug remains are harder
to dislodge than relatively fresh killed ones. I also now put a coat of liquid
wax on the leading edges after flight. It only takes a couple minutes. I learned
to do that after pulling a 5th wheel RV for some time. Makes a world of difference
next time you clean.

I remember reading that they clean baby bell bubbles with Lemon Pledge.
One article mentioned that the propellant in LP is propane gas. Maybe be
careful where and how it is stored.
