The linkage they provide for the rudder is massive, looks more like it should be on a giant 3-D plane.
I made a smaller control horn.


I would normally place it closer to the bottom of the rudder, but that would interfere with the tail wheel
mount, it should be fine a little higher.


I'm using the Du-Bro system, it has much thicker cable than what is in the kit anyway. Kind of funny they
use all this huge hardware and then a thin little cable.
