Default RE: Pull-Pull Set-up

I used those little nylon tensioners on a CAP232 120. They are very cool, one turn buckle is reverse threaded. On my latest plane I didn't use them, I just used what that Dubro HD pull pull kit included and bought two 4-40 ball links for the servo side of the cables. I used the Hitech 5955 with SWB 3 inch double locking arm.

I agree that having the cables straight instead of crossed makes for some huge slots. In some cases the cables would have to pass right through the rear former. Crossing them tends to work out better on most planes. Also getting a pull pull setup perfect is very hard from my experience. The tension is rarely the same at all deflections regardless of what you do. But it's a nice goal.

PS: Had to come back to add this comment for grins. If you look at my last picture you can see the rear former in the slot. I actually cut half wat through the former with my dremmel and had to go back and repair it.

Let me know what you guys think of this:

SWB pull-pull Wire tensioners. They have the little plastistic pieces that you loop your wire around then Crimp... There's a 1-1/2" Titanium turnbuckle connecting that piece with a Ball link which the connects to your rudder.. A local guy has one set-up like this, I didn't get a chance to see completely what was going on.

It seems like he had something like this http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXDCU2&P=7 Coming out of the rudder and he replaced the Ball link on the SWB unit with that Clevis.. But this doesn't go all the way through the rudder..[&:]
