How did everybody who didn't attach to the rudder route their tailwheelcables forward? I am planning on tying them into the rudder cables under orjust behind the seat, but I am concerned because they seem to join therudder cable at an appreciable down angle. Seems like it'll pull down onthe rudder cable when encountering resistance turning the tailwheel.Should I route them through a fairlead to get a lesser angle or is it not aproblem?Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2009 05:24:27 -0700 (PDT)
