Paul,
I have the same question. I put the cables in a month ago but didn't
install the slotted tufnol block or put the turn buckles on the aft end
of the cables yet as I want the landing gear parts in place to insure
full clearance. FYI, the 1/4" Nylo-seal tubing is thicker walled so not
such a sloppy fit around the cable (with no binding) as with the 1/4"
nyloflow. Since the Nyloflow tubing is thinner walled, the 3/16"
Nyloflow tubing would work just fine if Nyloflow is your choice. At
this point I think I will use the Nylo-seal 1/4" tubing, less possible
deformation in the p-clamp. Nylo-seal cost about twice as much but not
that much money with this little amount of tubing. I plan to use the
padded P-clamps as Terry Seaver suggested in his posting. I also may
use the tubing aft of the change of direction pulleys to the rear,
clamping it under the baggage compartment and at the mass balance arm
capturing bulkhead. I have installed G.Singletons mod that converts the
cable rudder actuation to push rod actuation to get less rudder hinge
wear and more positive positioning. If you get any additional ideas
sent directly to you and not on the avnet, would you forward them to me.
Thanks,
Bill McClellan
