NX18235 has 1/8" 1X19 stainless steel on drag and anti-drag, lift strut
bracing and landing gear bracing cables. 3/32" 7X19 stainless steel on
cabane and empennage bracing. 3/32" 7X19 galvanized all control cables.
Using 1/8" cable on the cabane bracing would be a good idea because these
cables take a real beating when taxiing over rough ground.

On the subject of cables, it sounds like a lot of folks are opting for Stai
nless Steel.
Why not use Galvanized steel?- I am using all galvanized.- 1/8 inch thr
oughout. 1x19 for bracing and 7x19 for controls. Use copper ferrules with g
al.- The 7x19 gal. is a little stronger than ss. 1x19 is rated the same i
n strength for both. Galvanized is .30 cents a foot cheaper. My wife says t
hats enough to buy her a nice dinner out.

Galvanized is cheaper and you can wrap/solder the terminals which is quick
=2C easy=2C almost zero cost=2C looks better=2C and=2C even better=2C is or
iginal. You can use the 1x19 for anywhere it does not go around a pulley
=2C which is most of the wires=2C but you might as well just buy a length o
f 7x19. Per the plans=2C I used 3/32 for almost all cables except landing
gear=2C all elevator cables=2C and cabane=2C or "roll" wires=2C which are a
ll 1/8. (not sure what plans say for roll wires=2C but I went 1/8). Ailer
on=2C rudder=2C and tail brace wires are 3/32. I bought all cable off Ebay.
You have to be careful when buying=2C because what they call "aircraft ca
ble" is not necessarily what it is (although for "stay" cables that do not
go around pulleys like tail brace=2C I cannot find a reason why it should m
atter) What I bought=2C very cheaply=2C had correct mil-spec number on spo
ols.

Hello Michael,
It takes an air compressor, rivet gun, and bucking bar. If you don't have them,
I would find a friend who does and do it there, it takes 10 mins. Would not recommend
doing by hand.
Rivets are steel, $5.45 1/lb (about 100 rivets), and I think I used 26 (very inexpensive).
I got 1 1/2" and 1 1/4".
R.J. Leahy (http://www.rjleahy.com/Store/rivets/trvr.htm) is a small, very friendly company in CA. The 1 1/4" rivets were on back order, when they came in, they apologized and shipped without charging me. They have my business for life.....

The rivets=2C per the plans=2C are all steel. There are several places onl
ine to order steel rivets=2C very cheap. I think a box of 50 rivets cost m
e 5.00. If you use the large=2C round-headed rivets which look better and
are more original=2C you have to buy a special rivet head for it=2C from sa
me place as rivets=2C cost about $15. They drive very easily=2C but I alwa

The light=2C fast "skin guns" that sound like one of those electric gatling

Have to give a lot of credit to Chet Peek (Pietenpol Story author) and
others like this guy who have restored Jennys and other aircraft like them
to original specs. I think there are 300 turnbuckles on a Jenny so that's
around 600 of those soldered cable ends to make.

Should use galvanized cable on any control cable that has to flex around a
pully. Am using stainless on the cabane (3/32") and wing strut cross brace
cables (1/8").

Actually, I believe that provided you use actual AIRCRAFT cable (as opposed to
commercial cable), both galvanized and stainless will have the necessary lubrication
to provide better fatigue life required when flexing around pulleys. Without
that lubrication, the cables will be much more likely to fail where they
are repeatedly flexed and unflexed.
Here's a link to Aircraft Spruce's webpage for aircraft cable:
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/controlcable.php
As you can see, the stainless cable costs about twice as much as galvanized. The
important thing to note here is that both types of cables are true AIRCRAFT
cable, which have specific and rigorous specifications that must be met. Commercial
cable, which does not have the same rigorous standards, for some reason,
is often called "aircraft cable". I would not use commercial cable in my plane.
All of the cables are there for a specific task (either holding the plane together
or allowing the pilot to control the plane), and should not be an area
where the builder should be looking to save a few bucks. "Should be good enough"
is NOT an appropriate attitude when choosing cables. If purchasing cables
from a non-aviation source, make sure you know what you are buying (like Gene
did).
As for preference between galvanized and stainless, that is up to the individual.
For exposed cables, stainless sure looks nicer - especially after a few years,
although some would argue that galvanized will look more authentic. I believe
Jack Phillips used stainless steel AIRCRAFT cable throughout his award winning
Piet, and it looks really nice (and authentic).

I had one of these (Lycoming O145-B2) in my Cub, which is why my Cub now has a
C-90 in it. I paid dearly to fix the mistake of not knowing what I was doing when
I bought the Cub and it was almost all because of that @#$%^& motor. I poured
a lot of money into nursing that engine along before it blew a head gasket,
maybe 10 hours into having it rebuilt, and I gave up on it. Then lots more money
to get the C-90 and have it mounted up and signed off (more costly mistakes
in choosing an A&P to do the job).
The cylinders are cast as part of the case. You don't just replace a jug when one
goes poof. According to my A&P at the time, my cylinders were 26 thou over,
and the legal limit was 30. Oversized rings were impossible to find, although
standard-sized rings were still available (15 years ago).
Lycoming rated this 65 hp at 2700 rpm, IIRC. There's no way mine cranked out 65
hp, but then I wasn't turning 2700 rpm (nobody does). Although I never had my
engine on a dynamometer, I'm guessing it put out 50-55 hp. On a hot day in Florida,
the tall pines on the departure end at Bob Lee's were close enough to provide
a lot of extra pucker power.
If you're working on an experimental and you're good with engines and machine work,
you might be able to get one of these to work for you if you can get it for
dirt cheap and you're willing to scrounge and put in the time. But if you're
comparing this to an A-65, don't. They're apples and oranges.

around 600 of those soldered cable ends to make.

Galvanized is cheaper and you can wrap/solder the terminals which is quick,
easy, almost zero cost, looks better, and, even better, is original. You
can use the 1x19 for anywhere it does not go around a pulley, which is most
of the wires, but you might as well just buy a length of 7x19. Per the
plans, I used 3/32 for almost all cables except landing gear, all elevator
cables, and cabane, or "roll" wires, which are all 1/8. (not sure what plans
say for roll wires, but I went 1/8). Aileron, rudder, and tail brace wires
are 3/32. I bought all cable off Ebay. You have to be careful when buying,
because what they call "aircraft cable" is not necessarily what it is
(although for "stay" cables that do not go around pulleys like tail brace, I
cannot find a reason why it should matter) What I bought, very cheaply, had
correct mil-spec number on spools.

On the subject of cables, it sounds like a lot of folks are opting for
Stainless Steel.
Why not use Galvanized steel? I am using all galvanized. 1/8 inch
throughout. 1x19 for bracing and 7x19 for controls. Use copper ferrules with
gal. The 7x19 gal. is a little stronger than ss. 1x19 is rated the same in
strength for both. Galvanized is .30 cents a foot cheaper. My wife says
thats enough to buy her a nice dinner out.

thanks for all the great feedback, as always :) i think im going to go with stainless
though, the extra cost seems to be worth it in this case, although im going
to do some weight research and what not as well.
One of the reasons im steering away from galvanized is that over the winter i found
the Pietenpol with a broken tailwheel steering cable (galvanized) and it
really made me think, ok so what do the ones in the wing look like.... they didnt
look bad, but enough to make me replace them. A quick history about the
plane. It has sat in an open T-hangar, the kind where there is another plane
180 facing 180 degrees on either side. for the last 8 years. Although i'll be
storing it in a closed hangar, it makes me think!
Now im about to go out and take a rough measurement of just how much I need and
add 25%, although will probly end up ordering what i can afford when i can!
Thanks again!!
AN hardware (short of turn buckles) are in the mail.
Corvair is ready to come off.
Carb is waiting to be rebuilt.
