• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Years ago I watched a British mechanic hand splice cable ends for a sailboat. I was fascinated by how he could do it without jabbing himself. I have seen hand splicing on old European homebuilts, it's a very elegant solution to terminate a cable assembly. I've looked at many youtube videos, but most are for heavy cables, which shows the basics, but I have not found anything that addresses 1/8" 7×19 cable we generally use. Any suggestions? I also searched the EAA archives with no joy. Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Gerry
