I am rigging the elevator on a cub with balanced control surfaces
When I get the tension set at 35# with the elevator in neutral and then
move the elevator through its full travel, the tension on the cables increase
on up elevator and decrease on down elevator.
I measured the cables and they are the correct length and installed correct.
The increase tension is up to 60# at full up and down to 15# when full down.
Any suggestions.
Thank You:confused:
