Before the plane came back from South Carolina, we connected the aileron control cables. They worked, but the routing of the cables wasn’t perfect. Malcolm was very happy with the force required but the cable routing just didn’t look right to me.<\/p>\n

So the first thing I did was to pull the cable from the firewall and open up the hole a bit. This will allow for a wider radius turn instead of the sharp kink it had. Once I reinstalled the cable, the routing was much better. But now I had a new problem.<\/p>\n

Here, you can see with the aileron up, the cable has a noticeable “break” to it at the point where it’s clamped.But the aileron is down, it’s pretty straight. It should be straight at the neutral position with a slight break when full up or down.<\/p>\n
