Routing the Pull-Pull Cables
You will need:
•
Spectra thread for pull-pull system (Bagged Parts)
•
4 Cotter pins for the pull-pull cables (Bagged Parts)
!
Routing the cables
The Spectra thread has a coating on it to make it waterproof.
You will need to remove this coating where you tie off the thread to set the knot with
CA. To do this, run the dull edge of a Xacto blade along the length of each thread where
you will be tying the knot.
1.
Flow some thin CA into all of the openings that are going to be used in the routing of
the pull-pull system. This will add strength to the wood, making it more difficult for the
thread to cut into the bulkheads and fuselage.
2.
Tie one end of the thread to one of the cotter pins, seal the knot with thin CA, and
then remove the extra material.
3.
Feed the cotter pin through the opening, and then guide it through the fuselage
toward the servo tray.
