Ken, I did a search on KR Newsletter CD and found an article that addresses tension. The newsletter is issue #261 dated April 1999. For 3/32" cable this article states the tension for Ailerons 25+5-5lbs, Elevators 15+7-3lbs, Rudder (if closed loop) 15+7-3. In the absence of published instructions, the author offered these guidelines based on a cross section of certified airplane control system tensions. If you'll look up this article there are other suggestion on where and how to measure these tensions. Bud Midkiff (KR2 Stretched to same length as 2S) Lynnwood, WA email: [email protected]
