I looked at control pulleys at Wicks and AS today for the first time. I'd appreciate a little guidance--
They both sell 2 types: phenolic and polyethylene. The phenolic AN 210 pulleys called for in the KR plans are nice and cheap, but if I'm reading the catalogs right, they come with warnings that say you're not supposed to use them for heavy loads or for angles of more than 15 degrees. Could someone tell me if these are the right ones for us, since obviously I'd be using these for 90 degree angles, if not heavy loads on a KR. I'm also wondering if the "homebuilders special" polyethylene pulleys (which are also very cheap) would be appropriate for a KR control cable system. The catalog says they're appropriate for "virtually any application." Here's a link to the AS pulley page--the phenolics are on the top left, the "homebuilders special" are on the top right. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/search/search.php?s=pulley&x=0&y=0 Any help would be appreciated, as I know NUTHIN'. Thanks... Seth
