Brief Description:	Rudder spring + cable fairings
- Max (Waiex builder) sent me photos of his F14-02 details that showed the location of a hole for the rudder return springs. The hole was not shown on my drawing. - Fortunately I was able to get a drill bit in there to drill the 1/8" dia hole - Installed the 1 rudder return spring I have (just ordered the 2nd) - Then made the two rudder cable fairings for the rear fuselage. Like the tail fairings I used a torch to heat them up to remove the temper in them (they are not structural). Then I used the edge of my wood workbench, and a copper pipe and smaller wood dowel to work the fairing into the proper curve. They came out pretty well. Ordered a bunch of things from Sonex today: fuel tank & cap; fuel tank straps; dual stick control triangle; 2 control horn assemblies; 2 control stick grip assemblies; 1 rudder return spring; pre-swaged rudder cables; Throttle quadrant. This should keep me going for a while!!
