I use pull-pull all the time. I have a 1/4 scale vintage sailplane with cable operated everything and I mean everything! Cables from the joystick and rudder bar travel over pulleys to the control surfaces including the ailerons. Some of the cables are routed though ferrules. I use products from Proctor-enterprises.com. Joe has everything you need: cables, swages, turnbuckles and all kinds of nice fittings!
