My cables are pertty much the standard Rebel route. I am trying to locate
them through the fuselage as we speak. Any help or tip would be very
welcome.

Miraculously (well, with the help of a laser and some string, and a lot of
staring) I managed to bullseye my holes through the fuselage skin for the
rudder cables. What I have is 2 neat 1/4 x 1 1/4 slots in the .032 fus-30.
My question to the oracle is; do I need doublers around these slots? I was
planning on having to hog out some ugly holes to get them where I wanted
and then put doublers on the outside to neaten things up, but now I have
the option to put the doublers on the inside, or leave them out.
My cable exits are way back on the fus-30s because of a highly modified
cable routing down the center of the fuselage. I can give details if
anyone is interested.
I plan to use 1/4 nylon tube glued in the slots with Sikaflex for the
fairlead.
Thanks.
Jesse

I would put the doubler in. You effectively have a 1.25" hole in a
highly stressed area. Perhaps use the same piece of metal as the doubler
around the elevator push rod openings if convenient.

Thanks Ken. Charlie, I agree that Roger Hoffman's website is great if you haven't already gone there. Other than that, my general technique was to run string along the bottom outside of the skin, spaced away from the skin enough so it can run in a straight line. This lets you take measurements and translate them to the inside, using rivet lines and the skin itself for reference points. Once I had a couple bulkheads drilled, I shined a laser through the holes and that gave me the exit point through the skin. Don't forget to stare at it for a long, long time before you drill any holes.
