Now that everything is painted or powder coated black, it is time to re-install the rudder pedals. I have to make 4 cable guards that go around the pulley. These guards keep the rudder cable from jumping out of the pulley. Kitfox supplies two strips of steel about 1 foot long and they have to be cut, drilled, and bent to fit. Each one takes about 30 minutes to make. Today I made two for the passenger side, and maybe tomorrow I'll make the other two. I just realized while working on this that everything, including the floor boards has to come out again to cover and paint the fuselage. So a lot of building this plane involves building, installing, and then taking it all apart again for paint!

In the last two pics you can see the required modification to the rudder pedals to add the adjustable rudder pedal kit. The tops of the pulley brackets need to be cut off and then the ends cleaned up and rounded. Once that work was complete, I primed and painted them black.
