| Subject: | Cutting Control Cables |
Appreciate advice on methods for cutting engine control cables to length. Leaving
lots of skinned nuckles on my firewall so Im assuming Im doing it incorrectly.
Also if anyone is using an ammeter shunt, would appreciate your thoughts
on insulating. Seems like a lot of exposed positive metal waiting to short
out. Is it OK to insulate with heat shrink etc or would it over heat?

Doug,
I have a GRT EIS4000 with the fuel flow option.If this is what your friend
has, he will have to calibrate it.
Over the first few flights I just measured my tanks with the calibrated wo
od sticks I made and looked at what
the fuel remaining on the fuel flow meter said. I adjusted the EIS with it
s calibration function until right on.
It gives you fuel flow, fuel remaining, and endurance.

Hi Cpt Vic,
I was shown how to cut stranded control cable by a guy who
builds Cozy's. He showed me how to use a pair of line men's pliers to cut
stranded control cable. Place the cable in the pliers sideways on a firm
surface hit the top side of the pliers jaws with a hammer. The cut will be
clean and the cable will not fray. I was skeptical but it works fine.
Re the shunt I would leave it in clear air.
