b.
Guide the free end of the cable from anchor point
A
outward, up to the top of the nearest
interplane strut, and guide it through the opening in point
B
as shown below.
c.
From
B
, continue to guide the end of the cable to and through points
C
, then to and through
points
D
and
E
.
d.
After the wire exits point
E
, slide a crimp tube onto the free end of the cable.
e.
As shown at the right, guide the free end of the cable to and through anchor
point
B
, then guide the end of the wire back through the crimp tube.
f.
Check and adjust the tension on each segment of the wire to create equal
tension between all points. Form a sharp bend in the wire as it passes
through each point. (NOTE: These wing wires are only “cosmetic.” If the
wires are pulled unevenly or too tight, the wings may get warped – and
warped wings might not be easily controllable in flight.)
g.
With tension adjusted equally on each segment and a sharp bend formed in the wire at each
anchor point, position the crimp tube approx.
1/4
-inch below point
B
and secure the end of the
wire by using pliers to firmly crimp the tube. Cut off and discard the excess wire.
3.
Install a second approx. 65-inch (165cm) long steel cable
to the left pair of wing panels as follows:
a.
Use a clevis, threaded rod with locking nut and
crimp tube to attach the end of a second approx.
65-inch-long steel cable to the cable anchor nearest the
trailing edge of the lower wing’s center section
(point
F
).
b.
Guide the free end of the cable from anchor point
F
outward, up to the top of the nearest interplane strut, and guide it through the opening in point
G
.
c.
From
G
, continue to guide the end of the cable to and through points
H
, then to and through
points
I
and
J
.
d.
After the wire exits point
J
, slide a crimp tube onto the free end of the cable.
e.
Guide the free end of the cable to and through anchor point
G
, then guide
the end of the wire back through the crimp tube.
f.
Check and adjust the tension on each segment of the wire to create equal
tension between all points. Form a sharp bend in the wire as it passes
through each point.
g.
With tension adjusted equally on each segment and sharp bends formed in
the wire at each anchor point, position the crimp tube approx.
