I had gone to Aero Assemblies and picked up the new cables and they looks like they did a good job. I wanted to go back to the airport ASAP and reattach the new control bar cables and see if that would solve the problem of the wing not inflating. But alas, it didn’t affect the situation—the tensioner still is within 4 inches or so of full inflation. One thing I discovered, if I don’t put the aft wing wire across the kingpost, the wing does inflate.
On the way home, I thought about the situation and concluded that either there’s something tangled with the wing wire that keeps the leading-edge tubes from extending fully, or possibly the control wires are too short to prevent full extension. I’ll have to check it out next time.
