I had to cut the cables out of my fuselage during disassembly, so it's in many pieces and needs to be replaced. I also cut off and tossed all of the Nicopress sleeves, and I can't remember how many there were. I'm preparing an Aircraft Spruce order and could use the new cable and sleeves to get me over the $350 hump for free shipping.

Aircraft Spruce says this about Nicopress sleeves: "Plain copper and zinc coated sleeves are used with galvanized cable, and tin coated sleeves are to be used with stainless steel cable." I'm certain the cables I removed were fastened with plain copper sleeves, but the cable appears to be stainless.


So, five questions...

1. Do we use 1/8" 7x19 cable?

2. Is the cable galvanized or stainless?

3. What length of cable ships with the kits?

4. Do we use plain copper, zinc coated or tin coated Nicopress sleeves?

5. How many sleeves ship with the kits?

Thanks!
