Hi! Bill
IMHO get the turnbuckles ! they are brass and quite compact, also recommend
the same for the rudder cables. Take it from me you will be very "pissed
off" to find that the mass balance weights just clonk the holding bolts of
the 'H' weight retaining assembly when you've got the top on !!!! without
the turnbuckles. Make sure you lock wire them though. " Been there ! Got the
tee shirt !!!?
Perhaps you Chaps can advise me how to get round the PFA being so bloody
intransigent on engine mount calcs ???? G-PTAG is still on the ground.
What's all this crap about pilots being able to "Get it Up "?????

Subject: Mass balance arm cable
I would like to know how to best correctly tension the cables that hold
the Stab mass balance arm centered over the pitch push tube? I have
heard some use turnbuckles but the ones I have found are pretty bulky
for this application. Has anyone found a small turnbuckle? My
nicopress tool has a large head as it can press multiple sleeve sizes
and it will not fit between the balance arm and the cable when the mass
balance arm is in place. How have you solved this problem?
Thanks,
