10.2.1 Rudder cable springs

This entry is part 8 of 11 in the series 10 - Control Sytem

There are already springs to pull the rudders from their deployed position. But once the cables from the rudder pedals to the rudders were connected I had to install some intermediate springs.

Now one of the things that I did was to install a second rudder cable pulley on the wing root. This should allow smoother rudder operations. It also makes the return spring installation a tad tricky… but not impossible.

Here’s the pilot-side rudder cable coupler (looking from below and slightly aft) with the return spring mounted.

And here is a view looking from below and inboard.

And finally, the co-pilot side.
