Default Glider Recommendations

The hand controls I have seen have been on ships that drive the rudder
with a push rod, like the G-103. The hand control is mounted on the
left side and is connected to the rudder push-rod, behind the rear
seat. How does one hook a hand control to a ship that uses cables to
drive its rudder? Most rudder pedals only move the rudder on one side
and use a spring to keep tension when the other pedal is moved.
