Hi All,

I know this has been asked before but I never really got the details that I

need. I am grateful for the replies when we last discussed it however. I

don't want to start a big debate and beat the dead horse again but I need

relief. The questions revolve around changing the stranded or braided inner

thottle cables to solid ones to prevent possible kinking. Can the folks that

have already done this tell me the following? I am mostly interested in the

diameter of the solid wire that others have used successfully. Wicks has

.055" that should work with the factory outter housings,which is the

preferred in my opinion. Or, they also have .075" wire with thier 3/32" ID

housing. Which size is the best for routing without binding?

Hi TROY,

I replace the cables by stainless steel piano wire dia. 1.5 mm (about 0.059

inch) and use a graphite grease into the sleeve, in France winter is cold

currently -5 to -10°Celcius possible, this solution is perfect for me.

Michel, Troy and all



We are also using a 1.5 mm dia piano wire, along with many Rotax fellow 

fliers.
