Flap cables rubbing

[Mark Goldberg]

Sometimes using the bigger cable shackle helps. I have also used two strips of .062 steel to connect the cable to the flap torque tube arm. Both those tricks have helped on occasion. Mark

I ran into the same head scratcher. I just hung my wings for the first time and drilled them. The left side seems to be okay, but as you mentioned, the right side has the cable contacting the rear spar attach points in the flaps down position. I positioned the torque tube arm in and out to provide the best clearance in the gap, then I was planning to use a slightly bigger pulley to provide the proper clearance.

I'm very interested to hear what others have to say though.

I'm about to attach the flap cables on my four place quick build and have come across a "head scratcher." With the cables connected to the flap lever and ran rearwards they rub where the rear spar attaches to the fuselage. Especially on the right side when it goes through the external fairlead. Am I missing something here?
