Brief Description:  Rudder Cables

Next on the list was installing the rudder cables. Took a few minutes to find them. Then I found the hardware bag with the grommets that need to be installed. The images are not very pretty but nonetheless thats the reality of squeezing a 6'+ guy in a tailcone.

I ran the cables while installing the .625 grommets along the way. I believe there were 12 or so. The last two are in the front of the spar carry through. They are larger grommets to allow the cables to "walk" as Vans calls it. The only problem is the grommet hole wasn't large enough for the .75 grommet that gets installed. I took my step drill and opened the hole. Snapped the last two grommets in and ran the cables through the holes.

Nice work session on the first day of the New Year 2014!
