"These wires can be used on any part of the model. It is often good practice to "break" a closed loop with something nonconductive to avoid an antenna effect."

I assume that has something to do with the dreaded "RF Interference".
Thats exactly what they are saying. I used the same exact method with the flying wires. But, on the bottom i screwed the connectors on opposite sides of the fuse, instead at one point on the bottom of the fuse. Hoping that will help open the closed loop. Granted i havn't flown my plane yet, but during the
'running in" of the Saito I at the same time did a very long range check with the antenna collapsed and found no problems yet.
Using the nylon clevises I dont know. The flying wires are going to be subjected to a lot of stress and I would think the nylon clevises may strip out eventually at the threads. Could anybody else confirm this?

Sorry for the bad picture I didn't want to pull out the good camera etc. so i used my cell phone camera.
