I am ready to make the elevator balance cable on my cub project. Rather
than make it to some standard length that may not be correct on my
fuselage I need to know what I am trying to accomplish and how to access
what is correct. When the elevator is max up is the cable supposed to go
slack? What kind of force should it be exerting on the elevator when in
neutral position or max down? Do I make it just long enough to support the elevator in neutral position?
Also am I correct in the assumption that I only need the upper cable, with
the lower cable being needed if on floats?
Thanks
