Folks,



I just changed both elevator cables on my CJ. We measured the tension yesterday and ran into a small problem. Old man winter!!!!!



You see, the information I'm getting on tension is the the cables should be 40lbs at 72 Deg F. Well it's still mighty cold here in the great white north (-20deg C overnight            ), so unless I want to spend thousands of $$ in heating to get my cables to warm up to 72deg F, I would need to find a temperature compensation table.



Anyone can help?



Thanks,



Dan

Dan,

I am emailing you the Yak 52 cable tension chart with temperature 

compensation, off-list.  It does have a trim cable chart which you may be 

able to use since the size of the trim cables is about the same I believe. 

I don't have one for the CJ or I'd send that to you.  Hope it helps.

Dennis

Dan;



When I get to the hangar in about 1 hour or so (Noon your time) I will look 

that up in the Harvard manual for you. It will be for 1/8" cable but 

definitely close enough.

Give me a call at 250-498-8387.



Cheers;

Walt

 What you really need here my friend, is a change of Latitude, say 28 degrees North. Sun 'n Fun could solve that problem...or you could take out the rear hatch, cover the airplane and pipe in your pre-heater hose to warm the inards.
