Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The homebuilt acft veered and nosed over during a landing. Examination of the acft revealed that the cable to the left front rudder attach point became disconnected. The cable had pulled through the nicropress oval sleeve. When the pilot/ builder was questioned about the installation, he apparently did not know the proper installation procedures.
