Anticept Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 You must be looking at a different picture than I am. There is a rear mounting block for the cable housing, but it isn't a fairlead. That is a fairlead on each cable in the photo. Keeps the cable from rubbing or sliding around. The cable has to make a turn in the belly between the legs too, and it's run through plastic tubing to make the turn. Those are also fairleads, but perhaps only by my own definition. Let's not get too nitpicky, but if you have a better term for it (cable guide?), I'll adapt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Corey, I think we are talking about different parts. The push-pull stabilator cable does not make a turn in the belly of the plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stabilator uses a Bowden cable, and the cable housing is its guide. There is no need for fairleads on a Bowden cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no need for fairleads on a Bowden cable. Haven't messed with the pitch assembly yet. Looked closer at the drawings, and yeah it's evident of bowden cables being used.
