GPA 5510 Progress

Last night I routed the rudder cables on GPA 5510. I got all the cables attached to the rudder arm and tightened to where they were just about right. I was standing near the rear of the tub admiring how the cables looked as they left the spool going toward the first set of pulleys. At that point it hit me....I forgot to install the inner panel that the cables run through between the spool and the pulleys.....This means that the pulleys and cables have to be pulled back out so that the cables can be threaded through that panel then rerouted back to the rudder arm. AAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Sorry for no pictures. I try to spend my time working on the vehcile instead of on the computer at home. My I.T. staff at home has not been very supportive of this project. She is pretty good on the bead blast cabinet and from a budget standpoint so I can't complain!
