>I’m working on the control system on a KR-2 taildragger project I
purchased. The plans (January 1990) state “the tail wheel cable should be
attached as far forward on the rudder cable as possible before it enters
the fuselage.” Where would this be? Seem I have to attach it BEFORE the
last fairlead -- which is only 7 inches from where the cable enters the fuse. 
===========================================
The reason to attach it as far forward as possible is to try to reduce
the side loads (pulling out of alignment) of the rudder cable.
I attached my tailwheel cables to the rudder cables inside the fuselage
(swedge fittings) and then ran them out the fuselage each in their
own fairlead.  Zero side loads on my rudder cables.  As for the type
of cable, look in the Wick's catalog and see what they sell for the
rest of the KR cable and order the same stuff. 

I had a rather "up and down" day today.  I got in 32 vertical miles
hauling jumpers.  If I tried to compute the horizontal miles I'd 
probably start feeling like I needed a beer and a recliner.  :-)
