[quote] I am building a 601HD and do not recall any cable tension called out.

+++ The older Construction Manual received with the HD/HDS kits (or plans) lists 30 pounds. Check around page 29 if memory serves - but it's the first to go.

*** Just checked, yep, on page 29 with the info on the control surface deflection is a note that cable tension "between 30 to 40 pounds." In the archives you will find a few mentions that both Nick and Chris say 25 to 30 pounds. That's from others, I never heard from either but then I never asked.

Dave A.'s comment to tension them with nose wheel off ground (presuming tri-gear) is good, do that here.
