..... Next, study the sketches carefully to understand the routing and

function of the brake cable. Depressing the toe brake (Q2BSWl) pulls the

cable, which travels around the pulley attached to BS2 and through a

short piece of Nylaflow tubing to a second pulley cantilevered off the

shear web of the canard. From there it travels outboard through the

Nylaflow tubing buried in the elevator slot foam core.

.....BS3 is a plywood block bonded to the canard in order to cantilever

that second pulley. The plywood should be bonded to the canard with flox

and 2 BID.

.....Strive for straight line travel on all cable runs where practical

to avoid unnecessary friction and wear.
