Subject: Tailwheel cable routing
I followed the comments by Bernard P. and others and put my lugs for
the tailwheel cable about 4 inches from center (I think, I don't have it
handy to measure right now) to get the correct throws from the TW. The
placement seems to make sense with the ratio being right, and not
getting in the way of most other parts. The problem is that it looks
like the cables will run right into or very near the aileron horn. I
didn't find any mention of this being a problem and I know people are
flying with the TW cables attatched to the rudder bar on seperate
mounts. Is there something I am missing here? Does the cable need to be
deflected downward? Or does it actually clear?
