A very late comment on rudder cable tension:

Both the Cessna 150/152 and 170/172 series just used springs on the 

rudder pedals.  You adjust the cables so the pedal stands a certain 

distance from the firewall. (changing those springs is not an enjoyable job)

 On the taildragger version, are there any recommendations on keeping 

 tension on the rudder cables. Zenith forgot to address this in the 

 manual. After calling them they recommended springs attached to the 

 firewall. I have heard of making a bellcrank with rods attached to the 

 rudder pedals for a counter-balance so proper tension can be 

 maintained. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly 

 appreciated.
