 |
|
Discussing the latest rudder cable directive with my inspector, he says that
the problem would be entirely avoided if the cables are run the length of
the aircraft through lightweight, low friction plastic tubing as seems to be
the norm in glider construction. Any crud in the wheel arch simply gets on
the tubing not the cable.He states with the authority of a long established
glider repair expert and BGA & PFA inspector that there has never been a
rudder cable failure in any glider or plane with such an arrangement.
Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ (with rudder cables in plastic tubing!)

We have ours sleeved in this way from the firewall to just past the fuel
pump bulkhead (before the pulleys). We were concerned that the crud from the
wheels would cause problems sooner or later and appears the concerns were
justified.
But we have yet to check our cables - will report back when we have done so.
