    Thanks, Brian for the introduction to Kathryn's Report.

    As I looking thought there I saw this. http://www.kathrynsreport.com/2017/0...l-08-2017.html

    If you rebuild an airplane, get more that one person to look the finished plane over.

    The cause of this accident has happened way too many times. Very few pilots survive reversed cables.

    Any time I have the elevator cables off he first thing I do after reconnecting them is check and re- check they are correct.

    Pull the stick back and the elevator goes up, the connector on the bottom cable is against the hard stop at the rudder post. Pushed the stick forward and elevator goes down, the front bottom of the elevator horn is hard against the front stop which is short tube between the upper longerons.

    Then do it several more times.

    Well one of these days I will tell you what it is like to take a C-170B off of a narrow gravel country road with the rudder hooked up backwards after restoration. I will say it gets real interesting when the tail comes up and you start looking at a ditch and a fence.
    A late model C-170B doesn't steer from the rudder horn but from cables that go into the fuselage.
    So the tail wheel steers correct with the rudder pedals.

    Two incidence in Maules with reversed elevator cables lead to an AD to color code the cables both at the elevator and at the bellcrank. Pretty bad when you have to idiot proof the simpleist tasks.

    It's the simplest idiots that you have to watch out for. I speak from the perspective of the idiot.

    AMAZING! Not sure in the USA, but in Canada any controls replaced, repaired or disconnected requires a dual signature, the second person can be just a pilot. Common sense......
