I've been trying, unsuccessfully, for 3+ days to get my wires tightened properly...had a few that were way too loose. A buddy loaned me his Christen tension meter and I loosened all the wires and started over by leveling the plane (almost level) and started with the landing wires. Then tried to adjust the others to get close to 750 on the back wires (assuming that's for landing and flying) and the front to between 60-80% of the rear. I can't even get close....
Developed a log to try and figure out how adjusting one wire affected the others and thought I'd figured it out. Thought my baseline of 550 on the landing and 400ish on the rear flying and 400ish (log at the airport) was good to start dialing it in. Was wrong, the more I adjusted, the worse it got. I'm lost...
What's the secret? Any, and all, help is appreciated!
