I'm in the middle of an annual condition inspection on my Sky Arrow.
The only flight control cables are for the rudder.
The maintenance checklist says the rudder cable spring tensioning should be "1.5 daN - 3.5 daN". That's apparently "dekanewtons".
Searching the web,that appears that converts to about 3.4 to 7.9 "pound-force".
Without a tensionometer, is there a way to measure this with just a spring scale?
Thanks - headed to the hangar shortly and I'll be checking this periodically for ideas.
