Rowland, I was also determined to clean up externals, after swaging I too di
scovered lack of space. I have elected to put turnbuckles with locking pins i
nside the fuselage opting for changing one end of the turnbuckle to fit dire
ctly to the pushrods horn. I will live with having the springs gathering gra
ss where, at least I can check tension visually.
This decision is so new that the fork end Turnbuckle parts had not arrived y
esterday when I left for a Scottish Gliding and walking holiday. You are wel
come to visit Bicester from Sunday 12th. You may be engaged to help me fit t
hem though.
