>> The rudder cable runs seem VERY close to
the fuel tank fittings and I was wondering if anyone else had had this, or
is there some way of ensuring they dont contact?
Jeremy,
Run them in nylaflow tube alongside the tank and the pitchstop support using small
brackets to hold the nylaflow in place. If you also use nylaflow tubes through
the fin out to the tailwheel rather than stainless steel then you'll find
the tubes will deflect as the tailwheel moves and reduce friction wear of the
cables at that point.
Regards
tony

My tank did not end up exactly in the middle. The result was, that the starboard
rudder cable was touching the tank. I decided against the tubing option because
i fear water collecting in the tube. Freezing water will cause a stuck rudder
consequently. So i added a second pulley wheel at the end of the tunnel in
the cockpit module, which also does the job.
