Me and Malcolm talked about this and decided to try a pulley on the wing too.<\/p>\n

The hardest part was getting the alignment right. To do it I took the cable from the pedals and clamped it (lightly) to the cable from the rudder. Then I placed both pulleys in position and adjusted them until the line of the cable was correct. At that point I marked the position and drilled the mounting holes.<\/p>\n
