If it was my plane I'd throw the cable away and start over. Hiding the
2 broken strands under a new nico is a bad idea but adding a splice or
turnbuckle would work. Cable is cheap though so why not just change
the whole thing. As screw ups go that's only a little one.

we were able to dremel down the center between the two cable segments but
removing the halfs apparently caused the damage.

Hope someone has some advise as the Bingelis books don't address repairs...

Having to reject the last nicropress
on the rudder, two strands were cut when the nircopress was cut off with
a
drmel tool.

The question is whether we can reinstall a nicropress in the original
position and then add one an 1/8" further?? or,

Make splice two lengths of control cable with double nicropresses?? or,


Is there any reason why a turnbuckle couldn't be used ouitside the
fuselage
at the rudder??

Thanks



A big pair of end nippers is a very useful tool when you need to remove
nicopress sleeves. Too late now, of course.
