Default What are those things called?
Good morning everyone,
I am wondering: where the rudder cable exits the fuselage, there is a cover you can buy, I guess it is for stream line/aesthetics. What is that cover called? I would like to put them on my plane before I rivet in the back plate.
thanks,
Brandon

Default Make your own option
I copied Sam Buchanan's idea from his build log. Easy and quick to make.

Information is about half way down the page

Default Don't rivet them on
Don't rivet them on until you have run your rudder cables. The cable ends are too large to fit through the openings..... guess how I found that out.

Default got 'em
I ran out to Avery's at lunch and grabbed a pair, now I haven't even made it home with them to test fit/size/or anything...but was wondering can they be mounted on the inside, or will they only fit on the outside of the skin

Brandon:
I got mine from Avery Tools (order@averytools.com or www.averytools.com) part #10728, priced at $12.00, described as "rudder cable fairing sets for RVs" in their 2009 catalogue. I bought all of my RV building tools from Avery. They're a family business and a great company to deal with.

Build a backing plate and cut the slot big enough to allow you to replace the cable if necessary. Affix the cover with #4 screws and the entire assembly is serviceable if needed. You can go here for detail step-by-step instructions.
