Kevlar cord doesn't stretch and can be glued inside a Sullivan cable-end fitting to provide adjustment via a clevis on one end of the cord; the other can simply be knotted in place. The only problem with Kevlar cord is that you can't push it. Sullivan cables work great for avoiding springs and things. -- Andrew E. Mileski RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Bird of Time spoilers
Andrew is right. You can't close the spoilers by pushing on a string. I close my spoilers with magnets (available at Radio Shack). The whole setup is somewhat heavy and old-fashioned but very easy to build and absolutely foolproof to adjust. The spoilers close exactly right every time with a satisfying click, and nothing ever gets out of whack. --- "Andrew E.
