Hi Reiff

Please keep the pictures coming as I too am running the cables. I would like to see a picture at the inside back end of the fuselage showing them going through the various bulkheads and firewall please.

Thanks

I posted a few months ago about running push-pull cables all the way from the dual side sticks to the aileron bell cranks at the wing root. Here is the final installation. It took a few tries to get the angles right so that there was not any stiffness or binding where they attach to the side sticks.

The cables run through the carbon beams, diagonally up the sides of the fuselage (I don't have any strake cutouts), and exit the firewall just above the spar.

I'm still really early in my build, and it will be a while before I install the avionics or engine, so I can't be sure yet about any interference or other unintended consequences. Since a few people asked, though, I'm posting the photos now that it's (hopefully!) done.
