that rudder deflects smoothly left and right with no detected binding. Once complete, secure the
rudder so that it is held firmly centered. This can be done with two rulers, clamped on either side
of the fin and rudder.
As with tail wheel cables, rudder cables are looped through rudder servo ball link eyelets and
pulled tight, grasping excess cable from the tail wheel opening. The resulting bend in the cable
marks the loop position. As emphasized previously, the Rudder Servo MUST be held securely
centered along with rudder while making cable measurements! The same loop, swage and
crimping techniques are used to finish the rudder cables. The rudder hinge pin should be cut to
length with some extra to make a short 90 degree bend. A small slot can be cut in the rudder to
recess the hinge pin. Retain with clear silicon glue or heavy duty clear tape.

NOTE: Rudder servo ball links must be removed then reinstalled throughout this process as
the cable loops are created and secured. Patience and perseverance are integral to
successful completion. Be sure to allow extra adjustment on both the rudder clevis and servo
ball link eyelet to take up what little cable slack remains once cables are properly completed.
