Parachute option

Post by permagray »

The rear spar attach points for the cables are just out of reach for the cables themselves - I cannot get the bolt though the hole as the cable is just not long enough - though barely not so. Should I hog out the attach-point holes in the fuselage using a drill, or perhaps use smaller diameter bolts. Obviously, these are critical for suspending the plane in a chute deployment, so I want to be safe. But I have tried all other avenues to get the bolts through and there just is not enough slack in the cables - both sides of fuselage.

Good day

My apologies for the late response. Can you please send some pictures and possibly measurements of the misalignment caused by the short cables to our technical email address (technical@slingaircraft.com) ?
