Salty,
Sorry I don't have that technology available. Tie a square knot or granny knot on the outside hole in the control horn add a drop of ca. I leave a loop so that it isn't hard against the control horn. Then run the lines up the tubes. run each string through the outside hole in the servo arm from the bottom up on both sides. With a loose servo arm screw wrap the excess cord one turn in a CW direction with the control surface neutral and servo the same. Tighten the screw down. With the turning of the screw it will increase the line tension on the strings and you are done they haven't come loose at all in fact the problem I had was the strings getting to tight.

I am also getting ready to build my Magic, had it sitting in the box for about a year now.

I was planning on using the gear from an old SE I crashed instead of the stock one. I'll be flying off asphalt so don't need the clearance the stock gear was designed to provide.

Elmshoot, can you provide a pic of the pull - pull setup with the kevlar? I think I've seen it before but can't remember exactly how it was hooked onto the control horns. Thanks.
