Well after several weeks working on winter prep I'm finally back to the Bearhawk. I'd much rather be working on the Bearhawk than cutting wood and putting up snow fences!
I cut some 7/8" x .058 tubing to 1/2" long for the rudder cable fairleads and welded them in place. To hold the tube in place for welding I used a method that I think it was Russ did - using a long strip of metal to hold the tube in place.
When it got to the back two there are some variances on where these are placed. I honestly hadn’t thought much about it until I was faced with it. Looking at some pictures I have of a kit fuselage the guides are on the inside of the diagonal tubes at station "H". In Eric’s manual the guide on the right side sits in the "V". If you put the left side in the "V" it sits too high because the top of the tubes are not on the center line. I went with Eric's method as it seems the most direct. One thing I was thinking is the cable running out the back of the fabric will be a little different on each side but I don't think it is that noticeable.
