Hi Russ. I'm going to use Teleflex, or Morse cables for the elevator and aileron controls on my aircraft. I'm in Kenora, Ontario and here on Lake of the Woods we've had experience with the 'push-pull' cables for years in the marine industry. When installed properly they are a maintenance free item.
The one issue that I am going to look into for my own curiosity is the weight difference between a Morse cable and a pushrod/bellcrank/pushrodorcable/bellcrank assembly. IMO the difference is going to be neglibible and quite acceptable for the speed and ease of installation of the Teleflex or Morse cables. Dial into the net and look for 'Teleflex' or 'Morse' Controls and you will find the technical info. I think it's the 44C cable that I will be using. It has the 1/4" diameter ends with the bulkhead fittings. Hope this helps Russ.
