I am finding it almost “impossible” to route the CT Q-43 teleflex cables from the Elevator Trim system through the Horizontal Stabilizer spars.
Is there a secret I must know about this?
Any hints are welcome

Carlos

Run a piece of Pitot line or similar tubing throwing backwards, put threaded end into tube, push through as you get the HS in place.

Carlos, The first time I tried to route those cables I thought, “ how is this possible?” fighting them all the way. So when I put them together after paint I attached a fish tape to the end of the cable and was able to pull them through the bushings and that elongated first hole without much difficulty at all. Being able to pull the cable through while pushing it from the other end was the secret for me. I though I was going to have to open up the oval hole, but did not with the help of a fish tape.

I was not thrilled with having the cable ride in the oval hole without some kind of protection. I added a snap bushing to the cable, but as the snap bushing is at an angle to the aluminum edge of the oval hole I added epoxy to hold the bushing in place. This eliminated the issue of having the oval hole aluminum edge cut into the cable.

I wasn't as smart as all of the other sensible solutions Inow see here. I think I lost about a pint of bloodfrom my fingers the first time I put them through there.

I did this too but opened the oval a little more and added the Spring Fast edge protection to the oval. Fished cable through with aluminum tubing.

I remember it was hard. I think I found a pair of 12" hemostats useful.

Thanks to all who responded.
Now I even know that you call “fish tape” to those steel or nylon wire guides used by the electricians to run electric wires through the walls…
The plastic or aluminum tube solution also look promising.
Now let’s fight again with those cables…

I think others mentioned this, but I used a piece of Tygon tubing with an ID larger than the threaded end of the cable. I routed this backwards from the rear spar of the HS forward. Then routed the cable fore-aft into this tube. Then slowly pushed the cable and pulled the tube aft until the cable comes out. Literally takes less than 1 minute.
