I know this topic has been covered many times on the forum, however a probably new question comes up for me
I'm doing my annual and noticed the inbord antidrag wires to be loose on both sides and both wires have almost exactly the same amount of "slack".
The the front spar has the usual two nut installation, on the rear spar it uses clevis an coter pin. The clevis/coter pin can be easily moved.
The drag wire in both inbord bays is tight.
The wings had an overhaul in 2009 and I'm sure the problem with the blocks at the rear spar compression ribs was fixed and the drag-antidrag wires were retorqued.
It further is almost impossible that the block between bay 1 and 2 ist brocken, because it is one piece and the wires in bay 2 are really tight on both wings. The same for bay 3.
Because of the symmetry of the problem I'm wondering whether it is possible that one of the wires became lose due to tensioning of the flying and landing wires during Rerigging afer overhaul?
Thanks for your help
