Howdy all;

I have my annual inspection on Saturday, and for the life of me I can't find
the 601 HDS cable tension specs. Does anyone know what the elevator and
rudder cables should be tension to on a 601 hds?

Thanks

Roger

Hi Roger,
I keep my rudder, elevator and aileron cables tensioned between 20 and
25 lbs, well below 40 lbs. I believe the higher number just
tends to bend metal over the long run.

I'm going to jump on this statement for a minute Wink so please bear with me.

You have written about this previously, regarding the fact that one
can "read" the rivet line of the rib on the skin at high cable
tensions. Are you saying that, in your experience, the following
happens:

A1. You set the cable tension at 40lbs.

A2. You go flying the friendly skies.

A3. You come back and measure your cable tension. The tension is now
less, and you observe that something along the line of the cable runs,
somewhere, has bent -- acquired a permanent set, of sorts -- such that
the cable has slackened.

However:

B1. You set the cable tension at 25lbs.

B2. You go flying the friendly skies.

B3. You come back and measure your cable tension. The tension is still
pretty much 25lbs.

?

Cheers,

Ihab

Hi Roger;
  Page 29 of my 1995 CH601 HDS Construction Manual says the tension should be between 30 and 40 lbs. Hoper this helps.
