Peter,
Sounds good for another simplification to get in the air quicker. The Lancair
320/360's use these cables for rudder control. You may still need the
bellcranks mounted at the aft spar to get the proper 10 degrees up - 20 degrees
down differential movement for the aelirons.

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.
