control cable questions

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 turnbuckle is outside the fuselage at the rudder horn is in the design
of the Zenith 601XL so if it doesn't get binded in anyway you should be OK.

now there's the answer I wanted. Just out of curiosity, what connection
method is used at the rudder pedals.
thanks

I don't have my plans here at the office they are at the airport but I
THINK. It is an AN115-21 cable shackle. If someone else doesn't pop up
with the answer shortly I can find out for you.

thanks,would appreciate it. Are your cables 1/8"?

Trimmed a little tight on that one but the threading looks like your are
talking to me so yes, they are 1/8".

g. just the start of one of those days where I can't get anything right .
Here's probably a better reference.

Dick, I just checked and surprisingly my memory was correct, it is
AN115-21 shackles.

There is a picture of this connection here.
