Rudder Cable Sheath
Miles McCallum wrote a few weeks ago about sheathing the rudder cables
in teflon coated bowden cable outers.
Are you intending to sheath up to the pulleys, or are you intending to
do away with the pulleys and have the bowden cable perform the rudder
cable redirection at the old pulley point?
Rear Rudder Flange
I have done a trial fit of the fin, making sure there is a smooth
transition from fin leading edge to fuselage and it all fits fine.
However the rear fin flange onto which the rudder will be attached
attached is parallel to, but extends beyond the fuselage flange by say
30mm. Is this the experience of other builders, and did you have to
effectively trim a lot of the rear right hand fin flange off to make it
line up with the fuselage flange? The instructions on at this point say
leave minimum of 25mm fin flange depth for hinge and layups.
Still looking for some more syndicate members. Where are you?
