Anybody have a set of brace wires for the rear stabilizer?

Sedan Tail Wires

Post by Brian »

I recently had a front stabilizer wire break inflight due to improper installation. I went out and bought a complete new set of stainless tail flying wires and have the old ones left over. Perhaps one of them would be what you need. Please let me know if this would help you.

Brian,

Curious to know how it was improperly installed? Sure wouldn't want this to happen on a Chief or Champ in flight...

Broken Tail Wire

Hello Brian, Hop in that pretty little Chief of yours and fly on up to the Valley City Airport and I'll show what they did wrong which caused the wire to snap up inside the clevis fitting. All of us around here are looking forward to your fly-in later on this summer.

I have 7 of the 8 wires. The one on the top leading edge broke. Burl Rodgers has new stainless steel ones, but they are pricey - over 700 dollars. Perhaps what I have combined with what you already have might make a complete set.
