Builder Tip #87 from HomebuiltHELP 
Permanently Fix those Frayed Control Cable Ends
Control cables that need regular adjustment or removal require that their ends be solid - not unraveled!
If you need to install or adjust control cables from throttle bushings and other cable end components you know how important it is to keep those ends from unraveling or fraying . If the correct cutting tools are not used, cutting these cables can also create a problem.

To the rescue: Brian Carpenter of Rainbow Aviation has provided a video of his unique technique for "welding" the ends of stranded control cables into a solid unit . This provides a permanent fix for those cable ends that must be kept solid for later adjustment and removal. His process uses simple tools and a procedure that anyone can follow. A truly great solution to a common problem .

Watch the procedure now:

Frayed ends when cable gets worn or is cut with wrong tool
That end will never slide easily into position
Vans RV12 : watch the Tail kit DVD and learn what its like to build this popular aircraft.  
If you have been contemplating an aircraft kit project like Van's RV12, why not take a low-risk approach to experiencing just how much work - and fun it would be. Low-risk means that for just the price of our  RV-12 Tail assembly DVD  you can watch the step by step effort and the tools required to make it go together.

Building a kit aircraft of any type takes an enormous amount of time and focus on the part of the builder. For some, this means more than one year of building effort before the project is flyable.

After watching our RV12 Empennage (Tail) DVD you will completely understand what it takes to succeed- not just with finishing the tail, but you will then have a realistic understanding of building the entire kit.

A HomebuiltHELP DVD prepares you for the adventure to come. Purchase the Tail DVD now and keep your dream alive! Watching over another's shoulder is like having a helper around that has done the task before!
