Wondering if I could get opinion if it is worth it to install some form of
rudder cable length adjustment?
| Quote: | From those who have adjustable length, how often have you /do you adjust?
|
Thx.

I fitted turnbuckles in G-SMDH as I was concerned about measuring the length
of the rudder cables required accurately and then fitting the end eyes. The
turnbuckles add weight but not a lot and mean that as the cables change in
use (I believe they stretch) you can adjust. As I have only just started
flying I do not know how often it is necessary to use the adjustment.
My only criticism of my installation is that I had to think carefully about
the position and I now realise that I have to stretch a little too far in
through the back 'D' to get to one side (I staggered the turnbuckles).
I am sure others will have perfectly good reasons for not fitting or putting
them elsewhere.

Unless you are exceptionally good or exceptionally lucky at making both
rudder cables exactly the same length the only way to get the rudder pedals
to line up left to right with neutral rudder is to have some means of
adjustment. I recommend "Clip-Locking Turnbuckles" rather than the kind
that require safety wire - it's much easier to install the clip in the
confined space in the tail cone.
