[rebel-builders] Moose: holes for rudder cables in rear fuselage?

Post by lawsondj » Sun Feb 19, 2012 4:05 pm

Dale,
I would also appreciate receiving these measurements. I am having conversation with MAM on this very subject at the present time. Jeff has offerred to do a photo shoot on the Moose demo to better identify the tailcone rudder rigging, at least as it applies to that plane. Perhaps I can post these pics when received (with Jeff's permission).
The cable exit point ,and direction, has several issues.
In order to have a near "line of sight"cable routing thru the last bulkhead, forward stinger attach bulkhead, thru the fuselage side panel to the rudder horn without a major cable deviation I believe the cables must protrude thru the cabin floor almost at mid fuselage on their way to the rear bulkhead.

I'd rather not have the cables above the floor mid way down the fuselage. This means a set of pulleys on each cable; one on a common axel with the elevator pulley pair,the other mounted mid way up on the bulkhead panel. Since I have to change cable direction with the pulleys anyway, I plan to have a horizontal cable run outside the fuselage to the rudder horn.

A question for Dale---Since your revised forward stinger attach bracket takes up a large portion of the mounting panel, where did you locate the cable feedthru holes on the panel??

Jack

Ted,, There is NO specific measurement for the cable exit.. I questioned
MAM on this before... I can measure mine if you want... Dale
