Note: If you plan to do the tail dragger
conversion you should skip ahead to the
tail wheel mounting now. Then come
back to step # 5 below.
4.
Take the remaining two brackets and grip in
the center with the pliers and make a 30
degree bend. Measure 1-1/2” from the rear
of the fuselage and screw the two brackets
in place using the #4 sheet metal screws.
You will need to enlarge the hole on one end
for the #4 screw.
5.
Take the braided cable and cut two 14-1/2”
pieces and two 11” pieces for the flying
wires. The remainder is the rudder cables.
Slip the cable through the swage then
through the hole in the rigging coupler. Let
1” extend through the hole then bend back
through the swage. Crimp the swage to lock
the cable in place.
Repeat this for one end of each of the four
cables.
6.
Put the silicone keeper on the clevis and
screw the clevis onto the rigging coupler.
Screw in into the clevis until the coupler is
flush with the opening in the center of the
clevis.
Repeat for the other three cables.
7.
Attach the clevis of the two 14-1/2” cables
onto the brackets on the top side of the stab.
Attach the clevis of the two 11” cables onto
the brackets on the bottom side of the stab.
Screw a #4 nut onto the other four rigging
couplers and screw the couplers into the
clevis. Attach the clevis to the other four
brackets.
8.
Pull the top cable through the swage, then
through the coupler on the fin. Loop back
through the swage and pull snug, don’t get it
too tight till the others are in place or you
might warp the stab or fin. Crimp the swage.
