I am starting to research all the cables and turnbuckles for my project. I have read the previous posts discussing such as:
Here and Here
I would like to create a quick reference for anyone building or restoring a Cub on which turnbuckles to use. I will update this as information gets verfied by more experienced people.
Elevator Turnbuckles:
semi verified classic style - AN130-16S assembly or AN170-16S eye, AN155-16S barrel, AN161-16S fork.
unverified quick clip style: MS21255-5RS eye, MS21251-B5S barrel, MS21252-5LS fork, MS21256-1 clip
2 required per plane.
Aileron Turnbuckles:
semi verified classic style - AN170-16S eye, AN155-16S barrel, Piper 461-432 fork.
unverified quick clip style - unknown (will same as elevator work?)
4 required per plane
Rudder Turnbuckles
Not used by factory but have seen on some planes instead of the multi-hole clip link. Use same as elevator? Place outside or inside?
Flap Turnbuckles
semi verified AN130-16S assembly, or same as elevator
2 required per plane
If some folks can confirm or correct my findings I will update this post and mark as "verified". Also it would be great if anyone knows the best price to get them. Chime in. Thanks!
