I like to say thanks to: Larry, Dan, Mark for their help with the
elevator cables.
I did what they suggested and it worked.

Please forgive me if this was covered already, but I've been on vacation and
may have missed all the replies to the rudder cable issue.
A recent item in "To Fly" noted that at least one fatal accident has
resulted from the use of rudder pedal return springs rather than a
run-around "closed loop
Springs it is then!

I second that, I bolted 2 small aluminum brackets to the aft side of the

and ran a short length of cable fwd from the rudder pedals and connected them
in the center with a turn buckle. Turn buckles were how the 3/32nd
Turn buckles were how the 3/32nd rudder cables were terminated at the

Larry and all,
Even though I'm a smaller person, the thought of checking and re-rigging the
rudder controls at or before an annual didn't seem to be something that I
looked forward to doing. Standing on my head under the instrument panel isn't
one of those things that rate on my fun meter. So
Hi all
What diameter cable should I use for rudder controls. I cant find this info on
any of the plans or the manual, or should I just get new glasses!

Per the parts list in an old Wicks Catalog, the control cable is 3/32" x 7 x
19 cable.

I am going to replace some control cables (and possibly all of them) in my

Cable size in mine is 3/32. Rated strength of 3/32" 7x19 cable is 920# vs
1760# for 1/8" 7x19 stainless cable. 3/32" cable should be sufficient for the
KR unless your cable is routed through an area that may cause significant
chafing.

The issue is the aileron bell crank assembly.
He says that the two crossing cables (the cable that goes to the forward
