So what have I done wrong here?
I am not sure what I have done wrong. Checking against the plans all seems correct, but there is a problem.
If you put the rudder full right, the left hand rudder cable rides under the rudder stop.
As the rudder moves back towards the centre it rides under the stop, but when the cable changes to the SS cable end it can hang up.It can be quite a bit more extreme than shown in this picture.
Here it is just sticking on the edge of the rudder stop. A panicked jab on the rudder pedal will clear it, but I don't like panic in an aeroplane.
Here you see the rudder centralised.
Here it is from a different angle.
I cant be the first to have this problem, but I also cant see how it differs from the plan. How is it meant to be? Should the cable run above or below the stop? What is the solution at this stage?
