AERONCA Memo M-24
10-20-37 M-24
MEMORANDUM TO OWNERS OF AERONCA MODEL K SUBJECT: RUDDER CABLES It is advisable to take up the stretch on the rudder cables of the subject model airplane from time to time. If the airplane is equipped with brakes it is possible for the left rudder pedal to travel far enough forward so that the projecting portion of the brake pedal strikes the aileron pulley located on the lower left longeron. If the rudder cables are properly adjusted this condition does not exist. To adjust the rudder pedals remove the metal guard which is located on the floorboard. The rudder cables will then be exposed. The pedals can be adjusted to a more rearward position by means of the holes in the adjusting plates between the ends of the cables and the arms on the pedal assemblies. If it is necessary to move the bolts more than one hole it is advisable to invert the adjusting plates to prevent them from striking the flange on the pedal assembly arm. Adjust the cables so that there is at least 1/2 inch clearance between the brake pedal and the pulley when maximum left rudder is applied.
