Heated up C01-03 rudder spring stock with propane torch and bent springs to specs in plans. Previously tried to bend springs without heat and spring steel broke rather than bent. After installing springs into fuselage, discovered that plan dimensions were a little long and resulted in rudder pedals not returning to neutral. Shortened springs by 2″ (5″ total coil) and found this length worked much better. Installed cotter pins in rudder hardware to finish out pedal assembly. Cut ABS-C01-01 cable fairings and located them onto the fuselage. Drilled 5/64″ holes for PK screws then installed rudder cable fairings onto aft fuselage.
