>I hate the thought of changing the cables and/or guides, but this may be
the
only solution. Any suggestions?<

I screwed up by not lubricating the rudder cables when they were installed.
 I ordered some teflon lubricant on the recommendation of others but have
not gotten around to trying it out.  Removing my cables to lub them is a
job that I have not had time to accomplish.  I too would appreciate any
comments. Has anybody had any luck trying to lube the cables without
removal?

I have noticed that the friction in the rudder system increases
dramatically as the tension on the cables is increased.  For example, too
tight a spring system pulling the rudders forward or lightly pushing on
both rudder pedals at the same time will cause undesirable friction which I
have learned to tolerate.
