Note: If you plan to do the tail dragger

conversion you should skip ahead to the

tail wheel mounting now. Then come

back to step # 5 below.

4.

Take the remaining two brackets and grip in

the center with the pliers and make a 30

degree bend. Measure 1-1/2” from the rear

of the fuselage and screw the two brackets

in place using the #4 sheet metal screws.

You will need to enlarge the hole on one end

for the #4 screw.

5.

Take the braided cable and cut two 14-1/2”

pieces and two 11” pieces for the flying

wires. The remainder is the rudder cables.

Slip the cable through the swage then

through the hole in the rigging coupler. Let

1” extend through the hole then bend back

through the swage. Crimp the swage to lock

the cable in place.

Repeat this for one end of each of the four

cables.

6.

Put the silicone keeper on the clevis and

screw the clevis onto the rigging coupler.

Screw in into the clevis until the coupler is

flush with the opening in the center of the

clevis.

Repeat for the other three cables.

7.

Attach the clevis of the two 14-1/2” cables

onto the brackets on the top side of the stab.

Attach the clevis of the two 11” cables onto

the brackets on the bottom side of the stab.

Screw a #4 nut onto the other four rigging

couplers and screw the couplers into the

clevis. Attach the clevis to the other four

brackets.

8.

Pull the top cable through the swage, then

through the coupler on the fin. Loop back

through the swage and pull snug, don’t get it

too tight till the others are in place or you

might warp the stab or fin. Crimp the swage.
