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.

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.
