I just wanted to thank everyone who has helped with this problem. It's good
to know it's so easily fixed - and while it's comforting to know I'm not the
only one to experience it, perhaps that isnt such a good thing!
Cheers, guys!
Kind regards,
Jeremy

Jos, My rudder cables go in nylon tubing thru wheel well and under tank, as
do a lot of others and a similar system is +/- universal in gliders. 3 yrs
of flying in all weathers & temperatures, including a trip round upper
reaches of Mont Blanc, hasn't produced a suspicion of a problem. I suspect
that even if water did get in, the non-stick nature of the nylon surface
together with the high load tolerance of the rudder system would mean that
it wouldn't cause any real problem. Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ

starboard rudder cable was touching the tank. I decided against the tubing
option because i fear water collecting in the tube. Freezing water will
cause a stuck rudder consequently. So i added a second pulley wheel at the
end of the tunnel in the cockpit module, which also does the job.
