Hello Dan,
My biggest concern is wire fatigue. With 16 wires in the Infinity Grip
cable, the flexing in both roll and pitch will be almost continuous and a
break in the control cables could be unfortunate.
So based on your comments, I could route the cable from the bottom of the
stick and clamp it to the control stick at the point of attachment which is
the Roll axis and virtually eliminate that movement. However, the pitch
control axis is off the control tube at the point of attachment and routing
the cable there would result in a concentrated flex point. So, I'm thinking
that creating a large coil in the control cable would distribute the pitch
motion and be the better routing?
I would like to see the pictures of your routing. This obviously must not be
as big a problem as I envision with as many Lancairs and Infinity grips as
there are in the fleet.
Thanks,
Stan

There is no great way of doing it, but leave a service loop and cover the
wire bundle with a sleeve so it doesn't rub on anything and just secure it
as close as you can, but still get free movement. I can send you pics if
you want.
