Snip > Are these cables available in any other sets?


There is a cable in the 8444 Air Enforcer set.  It is used for motion
between the two joysticks and the swashplate on the rotor (another
interesting part).

It has two clevis ends, and a mid clevis (splice) as well.  I'm suprised
it's as sturdy as it seems to be, the cable rod is rather small 0.065" dia.
The cable will still move freely in it's outer sheath with a 1.00" rad  90
degree bend.  The clevises fit any peg (the black ones fit well), but would
need to move a rather short stroke from the supporting tube to be of much
strength.  Any longer than maybe a 1/2", and the rod would likely bend
under any kind of force.

I don't know what I will use it for, but I will confess to buying the set
largely to check out that flex cable.
