Install both sides of the cable at the same time. This
will result in equal tension on both cables.
21.
Slide a sleeve on the cable. Slide the cable through the fi tting.
22.
Slide the cable back through the sleeve. Lightly tension the cables,
then use crimping pliers to secure the sleeve to the cables.
Make sure the loop in the rudder servo arm end
is pulled tight. Failure to do so may result in a
slack line when the process is completed.
24.
Place a drop of thread lock on the cable fi tting near the clevises.
Tighten the nuts over the thread lock and against the clevises, then
slide the retainers over the forks of the clevises.
25.
Tighten the nuts and slide the retainers over the clevises at the
servo to complete the rudder cable installation.
Remember to turn the radio system off at this time.
23.
Use side cutters to remove any excess cable.
The rudder cables may stretch slightly over time. Periodically
check the cables to make sure there is still light tension on them.
