Ron,
        Use the Graham Singleton (?) rudder bell crank drive system.  It
utilizes the original push - pull  operating system  through a bell crank
attached to the rear bulkhead.  It is much better system than the factory
system.  Any pressure put on the rudder cables is transferred to the bell
crank and not to the bottom of the rudder.  The rudder is actuated from
the bell crank via a push pull rod.  Check it out.  I have the Mono-Wheel
and use that system because it is a better engineered system.  Remember,
the factory has to eventually get it off the drawing board and out the
door.   I personally feel that Grahams system is superior in design and
strength.
