Hi Guys,
I installed my rudder cables last night (maybe it was this morning, sometime between the hours of 11:00PM-2:30AM), and I found that the cables do contact the pulleys but the pulleys do not always rotate with the movement of the cables.
The pulleys do freely rotating by hand, I think that the reason for this is that the contact surface between the pulley and cable is so small? Could be that the cables are not tensioned since the rudder pedals are not yet installed, but I put as much tension in the cable by hand that I thought was appropriate?
Just want to make sure everything is right before putting the last piece of fabric on the fuselage!
