ELEVATOR GUIDE WIRES
The guide wires are important as they add extra strength to both the elevators and the main wings.
The elevator has guide wires both top and bottom.
The bottom guide wires are fixed to the fuselage via the cross member installed previously (during the
tail wheel step). They are secured permanently using the same crimping method as used for the rudder
pull-pull wires.
At the other end, they are secured to the actual elevator using the provided accessories, which allow to
be secured easily with a simple screw.
For the top side of the elevator, the same system is used, however all ends are secured using the same
accessories.
Make sure that all wires are set to roughly the same tension, and are tight without over doing it.
