Subject: Pietenpol-List: rudder cables

Thanks for the responses to my rudder cable questions.  My taping the 
cross cables question wasn=99t very clear.  I was thinking of the 
drag/antidrag cables inside the wing and the cross cables on the wing 
struts.  I am currently fitting the jury struts brackets on the spars 
and then hope to start covering the wings.

Ralph

You builders who are working out your rudder and tailwheel cable routing are
going to hear an echo here, but "check out Westcoastpiet"!!  It's a treasure
chest of information! Take twenty minutes and just click on the photo links
of any of the Piets listed there, and you will find all you're looking
for... and more.  Much more.

I'll throw in just one image, from my own airplane, of the view from the
pilot's seat back into the tailcone:

I know it's fuzzy, and ignore the green bungee that serves as elevator trim,
but the point is that the rudder cables turn up after leaving the back of
the seat (on NX41CC there are both Formica and nylon fairleads till the
cables exit the tail fabric).  For the tailwheel cables, there are nylon
fairleads along the lower longeron x-members until the cables exit the tail
fabric.  Bear in mind that you will NEVER be able to reach back there to get
to those fairleads, whether or not you have a belly access plate, so do it
right the first time (preferably before covering), and you'll never have to
worry about it again.

Oscar, your trim looks simple. But I don't understand the pulley. How do
you adjust the trim?

Blue skies,
