When the bundle is visible in the cable hole at the lower front of
the console pull it through until the cloth tape can be removed,
then withdraw the elevator cable from the rear while holding the
electrical cables and the static tube from moving back – tape
them to the side of the console if necessary.
Pull the electrical cables and the static tube up until they are
level with the bottom of the windscreen – this will give enough
length for later connection.
Use a wire hook to pull the static tube down
though the rearmost slot underneath the
empennage as shown at right.
The static tube from the static probe in the
vertical fin will be routed down and through
the same slot and a joiner will connect the 2
tubes – both tubes can be seen in the photo at
right, tied together to prevent them slipping
back into the empennage.
The VHF antenna cable and any tail strobe wiring can be left trailing out the rear of the
fuselage at this point – they will later be routed up and into the vertical fin. The 2 fuel pump
wires can be pulled up through the hole in the lower longitudinal rib behind the rear bulkhead
along with any wingtip strobe wiring for later connection.
Fit the trim cable
Feed the trim cable (untagged end first) in
though the hole in the front edge of the
pilot‟s seat and feed it back into the
longitudinal rib (you may need to use a wire
hook through the access hole behind the front
seats to lift the cable over the main gear
hump) until it can be seen though the front
slot under the empennage, then hook it out of
that slot (the rear of the trim cable can be
seen in the photo above right) and pull it
through until it is level with the trim horn.
Fit the elevator cable
Feed the elevator cable (untagged end first)
into the slot on the right-hand side of the
armrest and back though the longitudinal rib.
You may need to use a wire hook through the
access hole behind the front seats to lift the
cable over the main gear hump.
Feed the cable back and out the “T” shaped
hole at the lower rear of the empennage.
