I'm trying to find a good source for turnbuckle safe-tieing. �I've searched through Tony Bingelis's books , but surprisingly, found nothing. �I KNOW I've seen pictures before - but where? �Probably a Sport Aviation article or gov. publication. �Anybody know?

Ed,
Why don't you use the turnbuckles with the wire clips? Much less hassle.

Aircraft Spruce catalog has all this in their catalog too.

     Ed,

        I found a very short article concerning safety wire in Tony Bingelis' book on
     page 26 of the yellow book  "Sportplane Construction Techniques".

        No pictures though.
