Yes. Nylon, nylaflo, or poly flow tubing works great for this as they are non-abrasive and tend to be self lubricating. -Jeff Scott > > I used Mark's design ?for the rudder cable fairleads. Then ?bought 6ft on > tubing that is used on refrigerator ice makers from my Ace Hardware ?store.

Carbon is way at the other end of the galvanic scale. You'll get corrosion if you use carbon fair leads and they will emit black dust in your interior. On Jul 1, 2015 2:06 PM, "Jeff Scott via KRnet" wrote: > Yes. Nylon, nylaflo, or poly flow tubing works great for this as they are >

Stef, I used a non-rigid plastic tube. Since it is only there as a chafe guard rather than pulling against it like on a bowden cable sleev, it doesn't need to be rigid. Just clamp in place at one end with an adel clamp and you are done. See the blue tube along the left side of the cockpit

In my experience the cable will saw through most anything...however I have no experience with carbon tubes. I would be concerned more with corrosion since carbon fiber is so horribly corrosive. https://sites.google.com/site/mykr2stretch/ https://sites.google.com/site/mykr2stretch/parts-for-sale

It has been 15 yrs or better but at 1 of the gatherings Jeanett told a group of use that she had an enginer do a load test of the wing and the carry thru spare gave out before the attach fittings. She was woried about folks adding wing extensions. It was around 92 or 93 Maybe even earler.

I have an engineers report here which tells me a cf tail spring about 6mm in thickness is 33 per cent less stiff than a steel spring, but if 12mm thick it is 5 times the stifness of a metal spring and about half the weight, so I was thinking that about 8 mm in thickness will do the job,

I hope someone hasn't suggested this as I haven't been reading all posts. If you want the tail spring to be composite, why not make it out of round fiberglass rod? Those are easily found in aircraft supply catalogs or through industrial suppliers. It could be set up somewhat like a Quickie
