| Subject: | painted rudder and elevator cables |
Hello all,
As discussed in my previous posts, I am in the process of painting a plane that
has been flying for 3 years.
Is there a problem with painting the exposed ends of rudder and elevator cables.
My painter suggests we simply turn the rudder lock-to-lock and paint all exposed
cable. I just want to make sure that isn't a safety issue. What have others
done when painting?

Ernest,
It's probably a better idea to mask off the cables as you would your
attaching hardware. The better to see
and inspect the condition of your cables during their lifetime.

No safety issue, but will probably chip and come off it time. Tell your
painter to quit being lazy and use a little tape. Larry, N1345L

I just started flying my recently completed CH701
The controls are very stiff. It is very hard to fly as the stiffness of
the controls cause the inputs to
be too much in all axess.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Does anyone have a solution or know the cause?
Thanks

wow, something must be wrong--- my problem was just the opposite------
My controls moved so easily, I wished there was some resistance built
into the system.

The rudder cables will bind where they go through the fuselage if there is
any offset to the cable where it goes through the plastic fairlead. Feels
fine when you test by just pushing on either rudder pedal, but put some
pressure on both like it is when flying, and the tension in both cables
makes them really grab. Hans did some very wild gyrations on his first
flight due to that binding. The tension in his sphincter muscle probably
put even more pressure on the rudder pedals, making it worse..... A small
round file opened those slots right up and tapered them to match then cable
angle. Not problems now.
