Subject: tail brace wires
Joe asked-> Also on the turnbuckle topic=3B has anyone replaced the piano w
ire on the tail > with cable and turnbuckles?> What size cable and what siz
e turnbuckles?
I don't know of anyone who is currently building a Piet using the steel wir
e
and thimble method used in the old plans=2C although it has been done in th
e
past. Most everyone uses 1/16" or 3/32" 7x19 cable with turnbuckles to
adjust the tension. My airplane uses 1/16" stainless cable back there sinc
e
the first set of wires on it (galvanized) had some corrosion over time and
I
replaced them with stainless.
A quick glance at the Aircraft Spruce catalog shows that the turnbuckles
for 1/16" cable are just about the smallest ones in the catalog listing.Osc
