Congratulations Hollis!! Well done. Also, ditto to Mike Dehate. Now, get those first flight pictures to us as soon as you can... On Hollis's post, he mentioned, as a final recommendation, not to use single strand control cable on anything important. I would go one step further and recommended to use only the solid rod cables with the threaded ends exclusively for ALL your control cables. If you must use the solid-wire cables, please do not use the wire grip end, part # 05-16000 or part # 05-16001 sold by Aircraft Spurce. At first glance, the wire grip end looks like it will work fine and engineered well. IT IS NOT and there is a very good chance it will break. You are probably better off using the more conventional 'cable end "B" nut', also sold by Aircraft Spruce. I have NOT used these but know of others you have and have not had any problems.
