Fairleads during cable replacement

[Steve Pierce]

And that's a bad thing how? I used to have a girlfriend who would read a particular film reviewer in the paper. If they hated the movie it was going to be good. Worked every time. Just because someone doesn't want to do something your way doesn't mean they're unsafe or even disrespectful. The person who fails to endorse your advice is not belittling it. Perhaps they're even looking for something they can eventually join you in, but haven't gotten there yet. The mere act of asking indicates some level of respect, so "Accentuate the Positive" and enjoy that - even if it's not what you'd hoped for.

They usually ask for my opinion and then when I give them my experience and opinion they want to argue about it. Like wireweinie posted, they just want affirmation when they argue about my response. It works for me and I don't need any practice.

This was just a joke with Dave cause he called me and I told him how I would do it. He chose a different way and there are way more pheasants flying around Yankton because of it.

After climbing inside to do the fair lead close to the baggage I figured there would be a 0% chance I’d ever get back out.


Jeeze it’s like pierce has done this once before. Ha ha.

Dave just wanted to save some pheasants this year and didn't want to admit it to the morning coffee crowd.

Total time to get the rudder cable fairleads out plus post on supercub.org 19 min. Sorry Dave.

Yeah, but I don't have a hole in my cub
Also, I'm not using the top aileron cable sets from Univair.....making my own. Those pre-made sets would be nice to install with no covering but I wouldn't advise
it on a covered cub. Elevator cables look good so I'm only going to replace the short forward section around the pulley.

Easier to inspect next time.

I save a lot more birds in the field now than I used to............must be buying some bad shells

All control cables I have installed in the past have been at recover. This is the first time installing with cover on the bird. So my advice, even though not solicited, is to never, never buy a pre-made set to install on a covered cub.
Every fairlead and pully needs to come apart. Pulling a cable with one bare end would be a simple process. Never too old to learn the hard way.........and no pheasants in the freezer yet.

and no pheasants in the freezer yet.

You know how to fix that?...

Fun fact the rudder cable attachment to the rudder won’t fit through the metal fairlead holes in the fuselage.

You're going in the wrong direction RBW

And just think about what all he had already done to discover that. Don't feel alone, I learned that lesson the hard way as well.

I was trying to pull the new cables with the old ones. It’s a one way road! Had to drop some parts off for paint, 4 hr drive or an hour flight.
