Ted:

Put the turnbuckles in the rudder cable at the rudder attach. If you have to remove the rudder they are right there.
Easy to adjust also.

Subject: [rebel-builders] Moose: Rudder cables--turnbuckle?

Is there any reason I shouldn't use turnbuckles in the rudder cable runs?
I'm thinking of putting a turnbuckle on each side just in front of the
bulkhead G to: 1) make It easier to adjust rudder pedal tension, 2) make it
easier to take off the rudder or replace a cable end without having to
replace the entire cable if every req'd [& not go thru the process of
cutting a nicopress sleeve to do so].

Thank you for input.

I have turnbuckles for the rudder and the elevator in the same place under a
removable panel in the middle of my baggage area for easy access. It's nice
to have turnbuckles on the rudder pedals because you can adjust the angle of
the pedals to suit you and to keep from hitting the firewall. Unlike your
other cables, they don't really affect the tension on the cables. Just the
position of the pedals.

Speaking of rudder cables----
My completed rudder assembly is stored in a hanger about 30 miles from home.
If it's convenient ,can someone please provide the hole-to-hole dimension of the
rudder horn so I can determine the rudder cable separation? I am trying to determine
where to put the rudder cable slot in the tailcone without mounting the rudder to the fin.

Thanks, Jack Joos SR193
