Hi Boys & Girls, Looking for some advice on flying & landing wires on a CB-1. The wires on my plane (I'm not the builder) seem looser that you'd think they should be. The airplane fly's well - a tad left wing heavy. I don't want to start making adjustments and screw that up. I've half convinced myself the flying wires might become a bit tighter when flying but that argument doesn't work for the landing wires. I have't been able to find any kind of a tension specification. Is there a target tightness? Also, anyone have a review on the torque wrench type tensiometers I see available?

Thanks,
Dave
