Excellent example. Same here. You have to pull on them pretty good too. And without
stretching them first they can become quite slack too.

Great report.
The only experience I have with keeping cables under consistent tension is my
guitar strings. I have been restringing guitars for many years and what I do
|
is bring them all in to tune then stretch them slightly by pulling them away
from the finger board. Then I re-tune and for the most part they stay in tune.
Experience has taught me that without the stretching step I chase the tune
of the guitar for about a week before it settles in. I would imagine this also
applies to cables but haven't found the documentation that states so.

Subject: Spreading fear about the XL
Friends, neighbors, and fellow Zenith Enthusiasts,
I have received multiple off-list communications about the
unexplained XL crashes. We now have folks not part of the Zenith community
spreading "information" about the accidents. As I reported on this list
then, a group of LSA competitors advanced negative information about the XL
in person at the September 2007 Zenith Gathering in Winchester, Virginia.
For my part, I have not heard anything conclusive from the entities looking
at the design, including the Zenith Builder's Analysis Group, Zenith, the
NTSB, and European Governments, with two exceptions. One is the cable
tension advisory and the other is the European action. Neither tells us
what is happening unless you believe that insufficient cable tension is the
proper explanation. Others have failed to find any design problem despite
an extensive review. ZAC conducted a second static load test with
acceptable results. But the impact of all the discussion is becoming clear.
In the Second November Issue, 2008 of Trade-A-Plane, there are three kits
for sale and a completed aircraft. See page 87. Some advertisements have
appeared on this list. Locally, some builders are making the decision to
stop work on their projects. While all losses of human life are mourned
without reservation, especially losses that need not occur, I believe that
we all seek a rational explanation for these events if one exists, not
speculation about what the facts we know might mean.
So let me call on ZAC, the NTSB, the ZBAG, and all other
investigators with the standing to make valid conclusions, to report
whatever they have found or not found at this time in order to limit the
fear of the 601 XL that is currently spreading through the community. They
must speak up now before more damage based on fear is done to our community.
Please correct me if anyone with standing has provided a full
explanation of the events that are causing these concerns about the XL.
Jeff Davidson
