I have a couple of S1S's that I have to take apart often to truck between airshows. This means a lot of wire tensioning. Im getting pretty good at it now.
During tensioning, there is a lot of popping both at the turnbuckle end, as well as at the wing ends as things tighten up, tension builds as I turn, and then it transfers to the end and it pops as the tension transfers. Tightening as close as I can get to the ends helps of course, but does not eliminate. Some ends pop. Some dont.
Ive been told that this is normal, but I DONT LIKE IT. I wonder if there is something that can be done. I tried a little grease on the turnbuckle end. Did nothing.
If I could just tighten smoothly with out the popping going on, I sure would like it better.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Mike
