So this is a bit of a retrofit as the IFR kit came out after my tail was closed up. The instructions call for running the coax down the VS and into the tailcone (right in the center, 3? from the aft edge of the tailcone.
The coax is then routed thru a zip tie which is affixed to the right-side rudder guide, and then it continues forward along a J channel..all the way to the baggage bulkhead.
My question is, how do I get that ziptie on that rudder cable guide? Do I remove the tail feathers and try to do something through the HS counterweight hole? Or is my only option to go into the cone, essentially all the way to the tail bulkhead?
I got as far as routing the cable and putting on loose zipties... but i?m not sure if i?ll actually fit too many body parts thru the last tailcone rib.
