Thanks again, Groggy

It’s weird that they plonked an “autopilot servo” in the diagram of a system that does not connect to the auto pilot. Maybe it’s to assist in identifying the physical locations of some of the actual system components?

I’d like to do an experiment on a serviceable aircraft with a properly tensioned rudder trim control cable: Find out how easy would it be for the cable to fall off, and what happens if the cable falls off, one of the pulleys at FS 104 or CSS 437. I’d also like to see how close the cable runs to other moving components.
