Photo #1 - This is the tailwheel spring installed. Rudder horn was later moved to the bottom of the rudder. Photo #2 - This is the tailwheel spring attachment plate and structure. Photo #3 & 4 - As I route cables from the rudder pedals to the rear of the fuselage I found I needed routing bushings. These keep the cables off of the wooden structure and can be used in lieu of pulley's if the direction change is minimal. If you need to make a shape change of direction then you need to use pulley's. The first picture shows the bushing and the attachment brackets I made that will screw to the wooden structure. The next picture shows it attached to the framework using 5/8" wood screws. Photo #5 -
Shot from rear toward front showing the steel push rod that actuates the
main elevator horn.
