aileron cable size?

[shawn coleman]

My aileron cable is different from what is in the specs. Does anyone know if it matters whether it's 3/32 or 1/8th or whether it matters either way
thanks Shawn Coleman

Hi Shawn,

I would say it has to meet the specs/drawing.

I thought the AC-43.13 says primary flight control cables must be at least 1/8" ??

Hay Shawn,

What does the "spec" say?

What is the "spec" that you are referring to?

Re: aileron cable size?

mech pulled it out of tcraft info I believe from the net unsure of the source. Anyway, we both come the conclusion that it was bad info, he also was under the impression that the bigger cable is a requirement so that is what we installed. It is good as new. Also for input my cable was wore under the -dash where it intersects the pulley everybody might want to look at that I never assumed my aileron cables would get wear marks. My mechanic says the reason is is that the routing is not exactly straight. Just a heads up, wouldn't take five minutes to doublecheck.
