Hi Tony
The BGA here in England banned the use of stainless steel for rudder
cables about 10 years age. I think it was because with age like us it
gets a bit brittle but still looks good! As Graham has said the cable
run is very straight forward mostly internal, don=99t worry use
the stuff supplied by Europa but get plated Nicropress sleeves.
Best wishes
Richard

SS control,cable question
Gidday,
So, I've tried using a second incompressible, but am now concerned I
have done that correctly. I placed the second one up against the other
one, and as they compress, we know they exude outward, even a little
bit. I reckon the cable I between the 2 could now be under tension,
continually, and possibly quite a lot. Whatever stress it is preloaded
is an equivalent weight, which in essence would minimise the stress
loading on the cable.
I've Lao got cable kicking around that looks more like gal than
Stainless Steel, but I know I have only ever bought the right stuff 7x7
3/32" dia control cable. Is there a reason why over time Stainess Steel
cable can go dull over time?

Yes I did. The 25mm long tail Richard talks about, instead of using
tape I use an additional sleeve.

Hi Tim,
So did you use two on all the ends, from pedal all the way thru to
rudder?

Tony,
As Richard stated, I used two Nicopress Sleeves for " peace of
mind".
Good recommendation.

Hi Tony You must leave an inch long tail after the sleeve and
shrink a short length of electric wire sleeving on to that end for
protection.
Two things you can do also, conduct a proof load test, I
don=99t know the loads but Europa may, or you could drop an email
to Andy Draper at the LAA engineering dept he would know. The other way
of being certain is to build the cables with two Nicopress sleeves on
each end. I know its more weight but =9CPiece of mind=9Dis
worth a few ounces .
Best of luck

Gidday,
I=99ve attached 2 photos of my Nicopress squeezes, and 1
