Engine restraint
« on: June 11, 2007, 05:45:51 AM »
  I've almost completed a scratchbuilt slow combat/trainer(old midwest rules),i'm wanting to put a cable restraint on the engine. I know it goes from the engine mount holes to the bellcrank,but what size?

Thanks
Steve

most people use .027 in. leadout wire.  It will break in a hard midair, but it does often help keep the motor with the plane.
