Thread: Rudder cables & pulleys

  1. #1

    Default Rudder cables & pulleys

    Ran the cables through the fuselage, then temporarily hooked the rudder up to check for freedom of movement and cable runs with tension on the system. In the pics below I am talking about the (top pic) the cable on the left and (bottom pic) the lower cables.

    Could it perhaps have to go under that fuselage tubing? Have to go look in garage but sitting here just now I think....yup...I think I had a thought. Might have figured it out.

    Thanks!!

    P.S.
    Major bummer - new cable with the kit had a busted strand, just one but it was in a "work area", in this case within a foot of a swage. 43.13 says no good so it's got to be replaced. Just bad enough luck on the location of the break that I have to pull out the whole cable and replace it, too ugly to splice where it is. But hey, it takes 5 minutes now, I'm a swaging fool!
