Nose Wheel Cable Preparation - Pipistrel Sinus Build Manual

Nose wheel cable preparation

Drill two holes in the rear bulkhead at the same level as the rudder cables already fitted.

The do the same on the other side of the bulkhead. The positions and diameters come
already marked on the fuselage for you.
Then drill holes in the seat bulkhead approx 10mm in from the edge of the tunnel. Again,

drill them at the same level as the existing rudder cables. The holes in the front are 100
mm from the flat area as shown in the photo. Drill 6mm holes and drop the drill to angle
the exits for the cables.
Push the cable outer from the seat bulkhead towards the front of the aircraft and be sure

not to cross or go around any other cables under the floor.
IMPORTANT: the rudder cables for the nose wheel MUST cross so the cable from the left

exits on the right hand side of the front holes. Be sure to secure it with a cable tie and
some super glue. The cables actually cross from left to right in the front of the cockpit,
just in front of the carbon support beam under the cabin floor.
When positioned, run the cable outer through the rear bulkhead. For proper position, the

right hand side cable outer needs to go through a hole in the under floor carbon support.
Leave about 25mm out the front side of the cabin floor. Secure with a cable tie and a
drop of superglue. On the rear bulkhead leave about 100mm out and secure the same
way.
Pull the cable outers tight before final positioning. It is very important to spray WD-40

into the cable outers for lubrication.
