[rebel-builders] Rear Floor
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 8:50 pm
This is what I am doing on SR-108, several others have also. The cables
stay under the floor, pulleys are slightly re-located. The last bay before
the Horizontal Stab is ware all the cables transition up ward at around 30*
to 45*.
This gives the "Mechanic" a lot better access to things located in the
empennage. In another life I cursed every time that I had to crawl back
into the empennage of any plane to effect repairs or inspections.
The "Pilot" can benefit also with more "on the ground storage" such as when
camping. I figure it would make a "cozy" place for two sleeping bags, or in
my case one!
It was not that hard to modify things with no sacrifice in the integrity of
the structure. Some photos available on the web site of others project, or
I can dig a few up.

Hi Tim,
By the time I got the channels done by the manual the last thing on my
mind was to do more of them! Some route the rudder cables through the web of
bulkhead E, as I did in 818 which you'd have to work around.
FWIW I haven't heard of it being done and I haven't heard of any
weakness in that area. And it would add a little more weight of course.
It'll be interesting to see what other comments are made.
Cheers Mike
