    Default rudder cable guides

    I am assuming the rudder cable guides should be glued into the standoff sockets even if they fit tight, did you use hysol or a super glue.

    I used some super glue, but I also safety wired mine.

    Thank folks,
    I used hysol, it is always nice to hear what others are doing in their builds and why.

    I like hysol as well, although I've used both.

    Late, but used Hysol on Kitfox IV number two though I did make some mods. When helping with the Lancair IV - this after building the first Kitfox IV - I was surprised that the rudder cable used the same nylon enclosure tubing that we use, but it was glassed into the fuselage skin. The silouette of the fuselage is somewhat like a porpoise which gave a curve to almost.every foot of run. With that in mind, I chose to make long tubing runs almost from the pedals.to the frame member just forward.of the exit through the fabric. Safety wire and Hysol.
