I posted this on VAF a few weeks ago and got a few responses but wanted to ask on here to see if I get some more perspective.



After getting the airplane back from paint, I noticed that when preflighting and moving the elevator I notice a little click coming from the right side as I near full up deflection.  I can't recall it being there earlier and on closer investigation it appears that the grommet where the trim cable goes through the stabilizer is shifting ever so slightly as this noise is occuring. That cable is pretty tight and has pretty good bending motions put on it.  I am thinking that the grommet has more play in it now and is shifting around a bit and "clicking"



I received two responses from VAF where people had the exact same thing.  Wondering what the experience of people on here is.  Does anyone have this....not have this?  I'll definitely try to fix it if it's a problem, but don't want to chase around a demon that doesn't exist.   



I think I need to start another project.  Seems like once done you are looking for things that are wrong to have an excuse to work on it some more 



Thanks again

Steve

I have various slight clicks or moans from the cables, everything moves

fine, not worried. I will check the system at annuals though.
