Check your rudder cables!

Schleicher. But most gliders nowadays using the same rudder pedal adjustment mechanism using S tube. My 27 has plastic cover where the cable enters the S tube.

BTW: Most glassfibre Schleichers have a mandatory 3000-hour life on rudder
cables (and some others), that is taken up in the 3000-hour inspection
program. I find that this gets overlooked sometimes by owners
unintentionally, not insinuating that is what happened here.

Occasional inspection of rudder cables is not a bad idea. Some decades ago, I severed my rudder cable at a point where it passed along the cockpit in a tube in the sidewall with an errant screw when installing a boom mike. When the repair shop pulled out the cable, they found almost identical damage a few feet back in the fuselage caused by the factory! I had been flying it for over a year with just a couple of strands left.
