7. RUDDER:
Set-up for Installation of Rudder Cables:
Lock rudder to vertical stabilizer using a C-Clamp and two (2) padded wood blocks. Es-
tablish the rudder “Neutral Position” by measuring (and holding) a distance of 6” between the
backside of the rudder pedal(s) to the face of the interior firewall. Note: Make sure the interior
(firewall) insulation and (firewall) vinyl covering/upholstery is adequately compressed during
this initial set-up phase. A wooden spacer of the appropriate length (a 2x4 wooden block
works fine) is ideal to hold the given distance during the rudder-rigging process. Install rudder
cables and related-hardware.
Check the rudder travel for

bulkhead. Keep springs as short as possible but never less than 4 ½ inches from end coil to
end coil with the rudder centered.
