Great information from Jim and Phil. Agreeing with Eddie, this forum is a wonderful resource. Even better, as I trail a few months behind Eddie, he keeps asking the questions for me!

Thanks Phil for your backup and excellent analysis of cable stretch with temperature. The simplicity that you mentioned is one of the great features of the Kitfox that make it easy to maintain.

Oh, I wanted to mention that John Pitkin has an excellent write-up under "Building Tips and Hints" on how to set up and mark the rudder cables for swaging. You follow that and they will come out right on.
