How do I hook the cable to it? Inside the fuselage where it doesn't matter how it looks I put the wire through the horn back through the sleeve then around and back through the sleeve again just to be sure it stays.But outside the fuselage that same hookup to the turnbuckle would be kind of ugly.Does anyone have pictures of a neater connection?
On my 1/6 scale models all I do is cut a length of aluminum tube, slip the cable through it, slip the cable through the turnbuckle/horn, then back through the aluminum tube. No doubling back. I then crip it at 2-3 places with a dulled cutting tool. I've never had one of these cables pull loose. On a larger model, 1/4 or 1/3 scale, I'd be inclined to use some more serious crimping system. Also bear in mind that "crimped" or "braided" areas on the actual aircraft were often wrapped in fabric so you can hide a non-scale crimped tube.
