Hey guys how much travel do you have on your flex cables for the aileron controls? Also what length are the cables and diameter? I know Team sells them but they are a dime a dozen online for 25 bucks and they look just like the ones at Team and (over 100 bucks each from team) .And this plane has broke my piggy bank ...Thanks.

You might want to think about making a pushrod system for the elevator. It is not that difficult, and both lower cost & safer than a cheap push-pull cable.

I meant I used pushrod for elevator and cabled the rudder, and will use teleflex push pull cables for ailerons.

I downloaded this information from this or the old site Long ago.I dont understand it but may be of some useto you.
Wescon controls Part# 3203bb5-048b aieleron. (i think this one looks a bit thin)
Part no 4602bb5-123b Elevator
The stress analysis report for the 1100 says the aieleron push rod is rated at 80 pounds compression/100llb tension.You can look it up from the wescon website.
I hope it is lower in cost.
