Default F1 Rocket Rudder Cable Length

Any Rocket pilots know the length of the rudder cables on an F1? Mine are catching on the rubber grommet in the main cockpit frame where the front section of the cable attaches to the rear section (via clevis pins). I don't have rear rudder pedals, but I assume this is clevis where they would attach if I did. I'm thinking I should remove them and install new full length cables without the clevis assemblies.

Anyone know the correct length? It would be great to have rudder cables that don't catch on the lip of the grommet as they approach the limit of full forward travel.

Thanks,



Lee...

Lee, I made one piece cables and have the old ones in the box that I will measure tonight, if you don't already have the answer.
