Hi Gang
just installing the Aileron balance cable fairleads.
When you fit the middle balance fairlead on page 6-B-22, you install it onto a 20mm L angle which backs onto 6B5-1. Allowing for the hole at about 5 mill away from the L angle that means the cable through the fuse would run 25mm from 6B5-1.
When you side balance cable fairlead nylons, its hard up against 6B5-1. So the cable instead of running parallel to 6B5-1, It tapers forward from the center Balance fairlead to the side fairleads.
Is this the way its supposed to be or can I move the side balance fairlead hole back making the cable run parallel to 6B5-1? I just wanted to check before I drilled my forward side fuse holes.
Chris.

I guess there must be a lot of XL's flying without Aileron Balance cables installed?
I just what to get it right before I turn my Fuse side into swiss cheese.
Have those who have done this put the side hole up against the seat back or parallel to the middle balance fairlead hole.
Chris

Hi Chris
I am not up and flying yet, but I have got the fairleads installed. The reason the fuselage holes are where they are is to run the cables through the holes in the ribs to the bell crank, and the reason the balance fairlead is close up against the seat back is you need to have the cable clear 6B-17-1 which supports the control torque tube. So yes, you need to have the cable angled to clear everything . I found that there is a lot of "stuff" all crossing just behind the seats.

follow the plans exactly when drilling thhe holes in the fuselage. you can install the balance fairld, after the wings are on and the other cables have been run through the plane. you will be able to see clearly once everything else is in place when to put the balance fairlead.
Just folow the prints. the plans show very well where to drill.

Chris,
I am not flying yet either, but I have had the wings on and all control cables attached. I drilled my aileron fairlead holes per the drawing 6-B-22 dated 02/05. The balance cable hole ended up not being as close to 6-B-5 as shown on the drawing so I did elongate my hole a bit to move the cable further forward. I probably could have left it as originally cut. Here is a picture of the right side without the side skin fairleads in place.
Good luck,
