Pegasus Rudder Cables?

Just be aware that the "new" rudder pedals for the AD have a plastic sleeve
that is slightly smaller in diameter than the old one, so the cable may not
slide through it easily when adjusting the pedals, and may pull the sleeve
out of the "S" tubing.

Gotta love these rudder AD's.

Does anybody know the diameter of the Pegasus rudder cables? Will
eighth-inch work?

Thanks,

Thanks for the tip. I've got to believe it's safer to leave the existing
bits in place than go monkeying about installing new pedals and cables. How
hard do you have to stomp on the pedals to crack them, anyway? I suspect I
could beat the old pedals with a hammer for a few hours with no ill effect.

In an accident, like a high speed ground-loop, the pilot may end up
more or less standing on the rudder pedals. I have seen cracked rudder
pedals where there was no damage to the nose of the
glider.......................I suspect this was the issue that lead to
this AD.

In our case, there was a small crack starting on one of the rudder pedals at
the weld. The area actually looked slightly compressed as though it had been
squeezed in a vise. Still, it would have taken a mighty heavy foot to
actually break it. I suspect a vertical nose down landing, ouch, would have
accomplished that. I wish we could have just welded on a reinforcing plate,
like they did on the new pedals, to solve the problem because the new pedals
are narrower and much more uncomfortable to use.
