Flap Cable ACS

[hharney]

Most cables today are Stainless Steel and that is because of corrosion not broken wires or strands. I would venture to guess that every Skymaster out there has probably got a broken strand or wire and this is not from stainless steel cables but from the design. Because of the radical bend in the design this is what breaks the wires or strands. Back in the day of 336 and maybe early 337 some failures of flap cables could have been from corrosion. With the stainless cables this should be eliminated. For my own peace of mind, I replaced mine just to know for sure what kind of shape they were in. Just have new cables ready to install because you won't want to put the old cables back in once you see the broken wires or strands

Don Nieser at Commodore Aerospace.
McFarlane will also fabricate them.

A few years ago I had McFarland make me several sets. I have 1 ship set left and no more Skymasters. They are stainless steel. I will list them on eBay mid week next week

I’m curious, why do you list them on Ebay, when it’s obvious that one of the members here is in need/ wants them?
Is there something I’m missing?
I’ve noticed this a few times.
Curious.

It’s easy and safe plus I sold @75k in parts on eBay last year so it like a habit now
