Brief Description:  Rudder cables

38-8, Steps 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5

Insert the spade end of the Rudder Cable through the oval shaped slot in the aft end of the Tailcone Side Skin Left. Position the plastic sleeve so that both the oval slot in the tailcone Side Skin Left and the hole for the cable in the Fuselage Bulkhead are protected from the rudder cable. Cross the Rudder Cables over each other and insert them through the snap bushings in the Rudder Cable Bracket and Bulkhead.

Route the Rudder Cables through the snap bushings in the Fuselage Bulkhead, Rear Spar Bulkhead, Guide Brackets and Center Section Bulkhead Assembly.

Make four Rudder Cable Links from 1/2 inch wide, .050 thick 4130 steel. Drill #27 a hole in one end of the Rudder Cable Guide. Clamp the drilled guide to an un-drilled guide and match-drill #27 the hole into both parts. Mark a centerline on the non-slotted face of one of the guides.

Final-Drill #27 both Rudder Cable Guide attach holes in the Forward Fuselage Ribs. Assemble both Rudder Cable Guides to the Forward Fuselage Rib. Align the centerline with the center of the remaining hole in the forward fuselage rib then match-drill #27 this hole into both rudder cable guides.

Install the guides to the Forward Fuselage Rib using the hardware. Clamp the forward most plastic sleeve on the Rudder Cable to the Forward Fuselage Rib. Position the plastic sleeve so that the oval slot in the forward fuselage rib is completely protected from the rudder cable. Position the plastic sleeve so that the oval slot in the forward fuselage rib is completely protected from the rudder cable. Repeat this step to clamp the other rudder cable to the Forward Fuselage Rib. Position the plastic sleeve so that the oval slot in the forward fuselage rib is completely protected from the rudder cable. Install the Rudder Cable Links between the Rudder Pedals and the Rudder Cables.
