Is there any reason why instead of putting the  turnbuckle at the control stick in center console.

 That you could not put the turnbuckle in the  center (over the bottom access door) of the cable running to the elevator and  use thimbles and shackles on both end attachments.

 This would make it easier to adjust.

Melvin,



I put the turnbuckle on the upper cable in the arm rest area, and attached the other turnbuckle to the upper control horn of the elevator.  I have screw attachment of the fiberglass saddle that covers that turnbuckle, so access is real easy.

I put my turnbuckles on as:  The down cable is  on the upper part of the control yoke and thats easy to get to.  The up  cable is harder to get to so I put the turnbuckle on the elevator control horn  at the tail.  To adjust I remove the fiberglass fairing...

I installed my turnbuckles in the center console and had no difficulty adjusting the cables. The only challenge will be lockwiring the bottom turnbuckle and I plan to remove it from the control stick to perform that function. Other than for inspections I don't ever expect to have to access that turnbuckle. Any slight adjustments can be performed on the upper turnbuckle. I know several builders that have removable tail fairings and have installed the turnbuckle there, but mine is not. There is no reason the turnbuckle cannot be put in any of the locations suggested, but my experience is that in the center console it is easily inspected and has not been a problem.
