I'm attempting to square up the 1st rib bay. The wires are all pretensioned to 1 1/2 turns on the front nut except for the front inboard wire which is pretensioned at the rear spar if I understand the directions accurately. I'm at 3 1/2 turns total on that particular wire and it's dimension is still about 1/16 longer than the sister wire in the bay using trammel points. I've backed off the other wire to where it's barely finger tight. So close but not quite there. Does the 3 1/2 turn limit include the initial 1 1/2 pretension or am I allowed 3 1/2 after the pretension? Any guidance is appreciated!
