Rigging Flight Control Cables

[@ludvikblondal9885]

This is indeed one of the best build vlogs there is!!

[@ultralightaviationchannelf9079]

Wow. Man you are only one out of all KZbin who explain at least partly how does it work. Thanks 🙏

[@ultralightaviationchannelf9079]

Do you have more videos how did you apply the controlls to elerons and for controls in general?

[@ColbyOsborn]

This is the only video I have so far related to rigging flight controls. I will release a video soon showing the flight control covering process. It will probably be several months before I get into rigging the ailerons and flaps.

Hi Colby and Amanda. Brian from Canada here. Good to see you're progressing. Paw is right. A good winter project. Sean and I will probly start next winter on ours. Cheers, bud, and budette

[@ColbyOsborn]

Hey Brian! The good news for your build is your winter is longer than most. 😁

[@sonshinelight]

@@ColbyOsborn Yeah... I never thought of it that way. Snowed yesterday and dipped down below freezing. The 1 inch of snow stayed and accumulated on the ground. Im along the Alaska highway in Fort St. John.

[@ColbyOsborn]

I had to google it. Looks like stunning country! Even all of the way down here we were below freezing and had a little snow a couple of days ago. I think we're destined for nicer weather here soon though.

[@sonshinelight]

@@ColbyOsborn sure hope so. For you too. Actually had a warm spell up til the day before with t shirt temps. Amazing flying weather. Gentle breezes, oh and if you fly nights, you get amazing northern lights. Couple days ago they covered the entire sky.

Hot damn, this whole rig is held together with a bicycle chain? I was wondering where the chain on my Trek went! Great video!

Shrink tubing over the cut tails of control cables will prevent the “cat scratch” effect.

[@dcrahn]

I'm late to the show, and too late for you to do it. But a friend of mine when building his plane would slide on clear heat shrink on the cable before crimping Nicopress sleeves. Then after crimping, slide it over the sleeve and cable ends and shrink it. This kept wires from sticking out and tearing fabric or hands close to them. Very much like you did on you fuel lines where they were close to the structure.

[@ColbyOsborn]

Appreciate the tip!

[@erl2nd]

Great job 👍

[@honestsongoki4602]

Very good

[@TalonID]

With some practice, you can do this without the cable clamp & also lose the "tail" with the "gotchas". I attended a Nico Press class in the '70s when rigging sailboats. The goal was to not leave anything that could rip sails or stick hands...

[@ColbyOsborn]

Appreciate the tip!

[@ludwigrieger7556]

You are doing well, enjoy

[@minsoe6067]

Good Video.

[@bluehornet6752]

Nice job, but I would make one recommendation: Use drill stops to limit your drill spinning chuck from hitting anything after the drill breaks through.

[@sheldonrigsby3523]

Good video. I need to start rigging my homebuilt but I need the model number for the nicopress tool. I ordered one from riggingwarehouse but its not the right one, I'll need to return it. The 'bite' on the swaging tool is too wide. (1/4")In order to put 3 crimps on a sleeve it looks like it'll need to be 1/8" wide.

[@hadjnabil4811]

thank you lot's

[@lovetofly32]

I saw a trick that works really well instead of a cable clamp, install your thimble and take your cleco plier s and put the fork end around the narrow part near the nicopress and the other end of the jaw over the round end where the cable goes around the thmble and then put a rubber band over the handles of the cleco pliers so you don't have to hold them. It is just the right tension to hold the cable nicely around the thimble while you position the nicopress and crimp it. Works like a charm. One question I have is when you put your cables to your rudder. How do you plan on setting the cable tension without turnbuckles!??

[@ColbyOsborn]

Sounds like a great tip! Thanks for sharing. Turnbuckles aren’t necessary on the BH rudder cables if you cut the cables to the correct length to hold the rudder peddles at the correct angle. The only tension in the system is created by the springs that hold the rudder pedals up. It's not a closed system so turnbuckles will only adjust the angle of the peddles, not add tension.

[@krusecr4372]

You want to fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down.

[@ObamaoZedong]

You could say it's a ''fly by wire'' system 😅

[@crawford323]

In aircraft Spruce and specialties catalog under pulleys the AN210-3 pulley installation instructions state: Shall not be installed on frequency used aircraft controls where the bend in the cable is more than 15 degrees. For heaven sakes that is so conservative that it is useless. This pulley is common on rudder and other control cables. What do you know about this?

[@ColbyOsborn]

I just used the pulleys that were specified in the plans and didn't think much about it. I'll have to look into this. Appreciate the heads up!

[@crawford323]

@@ColbyOsborn Something is not right. I expect this was a copy and paste situation for the catalog and there is more to this via information not included.

[@randybell5461]

Your homemade bracket is to thin for the flaps, the cable could jump off the pully and/or the bracket will eventually have stress cracks because of the thin metal flexing. Very dangerous.

[@nitishprakash9576]

Why is the cable crossed for elevators and not for any other control surface?

[@ColbyOsborn]

The convention is stick forward pitch down, stick back pitch up. If the cables didn't cross pulling the stick back would deflect the elevator down, which would pitch the aircraft down. So these cable need to be crossed.

[@nitishprakash9576]

@@ColbyOsborn what if there was no convention of stick forward pitch down, any other reason?
