Default Landing with broken rudder cable

Had this happen on a Puchacz when the cable tension member broke off the RH
rear pedal during a spin recovery. Aerodynamically balanced rudder
(counterweighted), combined with cable-tension from spring on one side
only, made for interesting flying. Aircraft landed OK with some effort due
to hardover rudder. Subsequent mandatory AD addressed the root cause and
cable attachment to rear pedal was modified worldwide.
