Here's how I put enough tension on the rudder cables to keep the rudder from flapping in the slightest breeze and it stays centered for when I'm pushing back into the hangar. I have seen more elaborate solutions and some of them also served as rudder trim, but this was very light, inexpensive and easy, since I already had the hole and bolt for holding the heater cable anyhow. It is easily adjusted, too. The termination of the bungee at the pedals is just a pair of cable ties on each side. This is providing enough tension for the intended purpose and so little that I'm unaware of it when I use the rudder.
