Has anyone figured out a clever way to install the rudder guide material? Maybe i'm just tired tonight but I seem to be losing this fight, must be time to call it a day and crack a cold one.

I think I just beveled one end on the bench grinder so it would start into the hole easier, and tapped it in with a small hammer.  JImChuk

That’s what I was doing too, it worked on my rudder and elevator hinges. I just cut them long to start and then pushed the bevel through and trimmed it off but not having much luck with the cable guides.

I figured it out, whatever Kitfox used to cut the metal tubes left a small burr on the inside of it. I smoothed it out with a round file and now the nylon tube can be tapped right in.
