Do it, but attach the tab to the top of the rudder bracket (a few washers ar= e=20 okay for further lift). I have been flying this way since 1996 with no=20 problems. It is more important that the cable not be strained at the tab=20 swag point and that continuous pressure not be applied at the cable/fuselag= e=20 entry point.

What the heck, you don't really use the rudder that much anyhow! Remember, carry enough duct tape to protect yourself from any possibility.
