rudder cable layout
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 6:18 pm
The "biggest" task left here is the rudder cable. (Yes, that's good!)
There's quite a bit about rudder cable layout in the archives, of course.
Roger Hoffman and others have written about it. Using exterior photos of
several other Rebels, I can get a good idea of fuse hole locations that have
worked. However, what seems to me to be missing from the available info is a
combination of the exterior picture of the hole location, along with a
closeup detail photo of the pulley mount location inside the fuse -- the
next point where the cable has to go, of course. The manual (Ch.20) has very
little about the hole and nothing about the pulley location. I have seen one
or two photos of the inside pulley, but they're too far away to see much,
and I haven't remembered to take better ones when I've had the opportunity.
It would be nice to have both an exterior photo of the hole location, paired
up with a closeup detail photo of the pulley mount, from a few planes with
layouts that have worked well. Then I could just count rivets, etc., to
begin to locate the hole, while also knowing where the pulley should be on
the inside for that particular hole location. It's the combination that
matters, right? As error prone (and lazy) as I am, it sure would be nice to
make this as easy as possible! Thanks in advance for any help on that.
