701 Builders,



I'm helping a friend with his 701. His question is: What do I do about the 

Elevator cables contacting each other in the aft fuselage area when rotating 

the stick to the right as if applying full right Aileron? He mentioned 

something about a Bungee called for in the plans ( Please note I am 160 

miles from him and have not actually witnessed the "problem". )



 I suggested that he should wait until the wings and Flaperons are installed 

( which he is about to do ) and with a protractor installed to assure full 

Flaperon travel and then see if there is an interference problem with the 

cables contacting each other.



 I understand this problem is caused by the geometry of the Elevator 

bellcrank being mounted on the right side at the aft end of the control 

stick.



Is this something to be concerned about or is it just a minor thing? Thanks 

for your replys in advance.

Hi Jim:

             There  is a bungee described in the drawings that is required to prevent the cables  from touching one another.
