Re: Wire Tension

Hi Mark (Aerocraftsman) and all,
Very soon we will receive the flying wires (everything is finished except paperwork and will start the Rotec very soon) and are guessing about their tensioning! Somewhere we read, that you tensionned the wires to 650 lbs. To which gauge of wires does this apply, 5/16" front lift wires or twin 1/4" rear lift wires and the landing wires? What about the roll and tail wires?
We are fortunate to have a tensiometer on loan.
Your advice would most be appreciated!
Best regards
