Folks, This discussion, involving many smart and well-intentioned participants, doesn't seem to be progressing towards consensus. Since we are talking about control cables, we need the correct answer. Has anyone contacted our (EOC) Technical Rep, John Wright, Sr., or Asst. Technical Rep, Marvin Dunlap? That's why we have them, to answer (after researching, if necessary) these kinds of questions for us. I'm sure John has adjusted cable tension on numerous 'Coupes that I presume went on to fly OK.
