Initial inspection

1 post in this topic

After some taxi testing it became apparent the brakes and rubber didn’t operate as expected. 

I took the seat pans out for an inspection. What I found was concurring at best. The rubber peddles had been connected to the rudder control cable with standard hardware store turnbuckle eyes. I also found that one of the phenolic pullys had split and the cable  was riding on the bearing. Does anyone have a photo of how the turnbuckle / cable are suppose to be arranged  I need new turnbuckles and will need to cut the rudder cables back and make new eyes in them.

Does anyone know if these phenolic pullys are standard? The bearing inside is offset to one side by 1/4 inch.
