Dennis,
I don’t
know the technical details. But
let me give you a quick assurance that you can probably get the wire at a local
FBO. My mechanic had suitable wire
in stock and was able to put it right in.
He lubricated the wire while he slid it into the sheath. (Note: I’ve heard that some Coupes don’t have a single continuous
sheath from the tail to the control panel and sliding it in is much more
difficult.)
Make SURE
it’s well attached. And while the
trim wire is off, make SURE the spring on the trim tab has the strength to hold
the tab against the high-speed stop and not flap. You’ve seen the posts I’ve made in the past based on the
Ohio crash.
