David,
I'd suggest you not worry too much about rudder cable tension, but I'd
advise you to forget about all the advise you heard about elevator
cables.
Just block your elevators so they will not move up or down, or have a
buddy hold them in a fixed straight position, and then adjust your
elevator cable tension to the amount of stick "slop" that you are
willing to put up with, and still feel will give you the control
authority you wish to have in an emergency situation.
Most Kolb pilots will be surprised at the amount of sloppy stick travel
they have with almost no movement in the elevator when the elevator is
under load.
I'd strongly recommend that all kolb pilots do this check out
periodically.

Gene Z/Kolbers:
I like my elevator cables tight.
Rudder cables tighten automatically when I get scared
enough. ;-)
We made a new flying airplane out of Larry Cottrell's FSII a
few years back. I flew it with the cables loose. It was a
bear to get comfortable with. Being new to VG's thought it
was maybe the VG's that were causing it until I got back on
the ground and we checked elevator cable tension. Larry
snugged them up and went flying. He discovered an airplane
he had never experienced before, since he had only flown it
with loose elevator cables.
Since my memory is getting worse each day, Larry can correct
me if my recollection of this is a bit off.
