Rigging Flight Control Cables

In this video we show installation of the control stick assembly and control cables for our Bearhawk Model 5. We used Nicopress sleeves to form the eyes at the ends of our control cables. We created control cables using this method for the elevator, elevator trim, rudder, and flaps. This process includes Nicopress swaging, cutting control cables, turnbuckles, fairleads, pulleys, and cable retainers.
NOTE: not shown in this video, a bushing was inserted between the two bearings in the elevator bellcrank shown at 1:24.

Shrink tubing over the cut tails of control cables will prevent the “cat scratch” effect.

Good video. I need to start rigging my homebuilt but I need the model number for the nicopress tool. I ordered one from riggingwarehouse but its not the right one, I'll need to return it. The 'bite' on the swaging tool is too wide. (1/4")In order to put 3 crimps on a sleeve it looks like it'll need to be 1/8" wide.

@dulaybenedictv.6148 3 месяца назад

Nice work man.. what are the specific cable tension value

@dcrahn 2 года назад

I'm late to the show, and too late for you to do it. But a friend of mine when building his plane would slide on clear heat shrink on the cable before crimping Nicopress sleeves. Then after crimping, slide it over the sleeve and cable ends and shrink it. This kept wires from sticking out and tearing fabric or hands close to them. Very much like you did on you fuel lines where they were close to the structure.

@TalonID 3 года назад

With some practice, you can do this without the cable clamp & also lose the "tail" with the "gotchas". I attended a Nico Press class in the '70s when rigging sailboats. The goal was to not leave anything that could rip sails or stick hands...

Hey @Colby Osborn do we have to install a seperate stick for the Falps or we can configure it along the aileron cables together. Would love to have your say on this. Can you share a link instead. Thankx

@bluehornet6752 2 года назад

Nice job, but I would make one recommendation: Use drill stops to limit your drill spinning chuck from hitting anything after the drill breaks through.

@lovetofly32 5 месяцев назад

I saw a trick that works really well instead of a cable clamp, install your thimble and take your cleco plier s and put the fork end around the narrow part near the nicopress and the other end of the jaw over the round end where the cable goes around the thmble and then put a rubber band over the handles of the cleco pliers so you don't have to hold them. It is just the right tension to hold the cable nicely around the thimble while you position the nicopress and crimp it. Works like a charm. One question I have is when you put your cables to your rudder. How do you plan on setting the cable tension without turnbuckles!??

@ColbyOsborn 5 месяцев назад

Sounds like a great tip! Thanks for sharing. Turnbuckles aren’t necessary on the BH rudder cables if you cut the cables to the correct length to hold the rudder peddles at the correct angle. The only tension in the system is created by the springs that hold the rudder pedals up. It's not a closed system so turnbuckles will only adjust the angle of the peddles, not add tension.

In aircraft Spruce and specialties catalog under pulleys the AN210-3 pulley installation instructions state: Shall not be installed on frequency used aircraft controls where the bend in the cable is more than 15 degrees. For heaven sakes that is so conservative that it is useless. This pulley is common on rudder and other control cables. What do you know about this?

@ColbyOsborn 2 года назад

I just used the pulleys that were specified in the plans and didn't think much about it. I'll have to look into this. Appreciate the heads up!

@nitishprakash9576 Год назад

Why is the cable crossed for elevators and not for any other control surface?

@ColbyOsborn Год назад

The convention is stick forward pitch down, stick back pitch up. If the cables didn't cross pulling the stick back would deflect the elevator down, which would pitch the aircraft down. So these cable need to be crossed.

@randybell5461 Год назад

Your homemade bracket is to thin for the flaps, the cable could jump off the pully and/or the bracket will eventually have stress cracks because of the thin metal flexing. Very dangerous.
