Today I installed the rudder cables. The system can be installed without turnbuckles, but I’ve always been particular about rudder control and feel. So I decided to install the turn buckles so it can be adjusted exactly right.
The rudder cables contact the rear seat. This is because the fairleads at this station were omitted on my kit. I contacted Mark about this. He said that Bob visited the factory and didn’t think they were needed. Well…. on my kit they were needed. So I have a few options. I’ll probably just weld new fairleads into position.
Here you can see the rudder pedals connected with the springs and cables. I’ve been unable to find the suggested 1″ springs anywhere. I’ve settled on using these 3/4″ springs in the meantime. I’m still considering thicker or thinner springs.
