| 1184.1 | foam it | CSC32::M_ANTRY | | Fri Oct 27 1989 09:33 | 7 |
| Anker on the Songbird fill the fuselage boom with the NON-expanding
foam in a can. Place the outer sheath of a NYROD on the tube that
comes on the can enableing you to get it way in the back. But in order
for any tube (like a glass fuse) to break it has to collapse on one
side. With the foam in there it can't collapse as easy. Make sure it
is the non expanding type. With the expanding type it expands to 3x's
and you run the risk of splitting your fuse.

| 1184.2 | Hard to do now | CURIE::ANKER | Anker Berg-Sonne | Fri Oct 27 1989 11:19 | 20 |
| Re: <<< Note 929.174 by CSC32::M_ANTRY >>>
Its going to be difficult because the linkages are
pull-pull cables running directly from the servos to the control
hors witout any type of sheath. Now that the plane is done I
can't put sheaths on the cables - permanently fixed at the ends.
You bet I will do this in the future. It was quite shocking to
see how easily it folded.
Thanks

| Anker,
You can still put sheaths on the cables, even with the permanently
fixed ends... Just split the sheath lengthwise then feed it down over
the wire..

| 1184.4 | let the foam itself become the sheath | SA1794::TENEROWICZT | | Fri Oct 27 1989 12:06 | 9 |
| If the pull/pull is using Kevlar you can probably get away without
any sheaths. Try it on the bench with a seperate piece of the
Pull/Pull material. Blow some foam around it and the break the
pull/pull matl. away from the foam. You might find that the break
will be clean and the material will slide inside the foam.
If it works on the bench then it will work in the fuse.
