Santiago-- I used 1/8" cables for the drag and anti drag wires w/
turnbuckles and also for the X wires that go between the lift struts. From
what I have seen most builders are using this size for these
applications. Some also go with the 1/8" for control cables but I went
with the plans and used 3/32" for all of those----except for the short runs
from the stick to the elevator bellcrank, as per plans. Pullies can be
had in nylon, plastic, phenolic resin, with bearings, without
bearings. You just need to look in a Wicks or Aircraft Spruce cat. to
find the ones you want to use that accept the cable diameter that you will
be using.
Mike C.
PS--- the Tony Bingelis books tell which cables to use to what
applications----like strands, etc. Also I am a firm believer that you
should not use stainless cables
for anything that will experience bends around pullies. Only
galvanized. For fixed, stationary cables it is fine to use stainless.

Thanks Mike. I have read that 1/8 1x19 should be used with
swaged end terminals and you can't form it around a thimble. Is that correct?
If it is, is not an option for me (costs!!)

Hola Sanitago,
You can form 1/8" 1x19 cable around a thimble, but it is difficult. That's what
I used for my drag and anti-drag wires in the wings and for the undercarriage
brading wires (I used the straight-axle, wire wheel design). I used standard
thimbles and nicopress fittings. The 7 x 19 stuff is nearly as strong and much
easier to work with. If you use the -16 sized turnbuckles, the turnbuckles
will break before the 7x19 cable will. If I were to do it over I would use
7x19.

Thanks Jack!
What did you used (or recommends me) for the flying wires? I'm about to buy cables,
turnbuckles, etc. It is common practice to use -16 turnbuckles whit 1/8
cable or should I use -22? Gracias.

Santiago,
Use the -22 turnbuckles with the 1/8 cable. I would also recommend performing a
pull test on your cable assemblies. The thimbles have a tendency to deform under
load which would require readjustment after they've been in service for awhile.
Pull testing will deform the thimbles prior to installing them on the airplane
and they won't need readjustment.
