<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ron's right, Eddie. 40# is enough. You
have to keep in mind that if another plane passes by you at close range and its
wings catch your pull pull cables, you want that cable to break, not pull your
airplane apart. Keith is also right about using different cables for each
side (wish I'd done that!). </FONT></DIV>

what is the CTI for balsa ? I have carbon push rods / balsa fuse and my elev
trim moves around considerably. I suppose it is because of humidity
variation between the shop and outdoors ?? The pushrods are 50"
long.
