[rebel-builders] Moose: holes for rudder cables in rear fuselage?
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 4:05 pm
I found my starting point by passing a long drill bit through the cable
fairleads in the bulkhead and noted where the bit hit the fuselage skin. I
don't know if this area is accessable to do that with the quick build
fuselage you have. I also discovered that the slots for the cables turn out
to not be parallel to the fuselage. When moving the rudder stop to stop I
quickly found out that the cables move up and down a bit causing the final
slot to be at an angle. I also installed a fairlead right at the forward
side of the slot to prevent the cable from rubbing there otherwise my slot
would have to be much longer.

I'm having trouble finding any guide in the manual for where in each side of
FUS-357 one should cut the holes for where the rudder cables exit the
fuselage. I have pictures from a couple of other Moose that I can use as a
rough reference-is there any specific measurement in the manual that I
missed?
Thank you,
Ted
