 |
|
Do we need to wait to attach these fairings until after the rudder cable is inserted? I don’t know how large the end of the cable is. I’d just as soon rivet the fairings on now, before we attach the skins. Reading the archives, I see where some folks have installed nut plates – that would obviously avoid the issue. But still, why not just rivet them on now, if the cable will pass through later? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

The rudder cables will not go through with them riveted on. Don’t ask me how I know.

It depends on how far back you put them. If you put them a little forward of the rear of the hole, you can still get them in. I don’t know that they help any on drag, but they look good. You want to have the tube that is on the cable sticking out far enough so the cable doesn’t touch metal when it moves (there was a plane at OSH this year that has a good groove cut in the skin from the cable rubbing). It is better to install it with nutplates for a good tight fit, but if you rivet it you can fill around it and the edge will disappear. Just leave it far enough forward that you can get the cable through, is my suggestion. Again, it is for looks more than anything, IMHO.
