Brent,
You just brought up a whole load of bad memories from last winter when I built the same cub. I don't know how many times I beat myself up for not doing it before covering. I didn't have a problem with twisting, but it sure was a b*&^h getting the cables through.

I think that everybody who's built the 1/5 Cub should write to Sig and tell them to revise their instruction book so that they tell you to string the cables BEFORE you cover the plane. Then the next poor b@#$%&d won't have to turn him(her)self inside out trying to get the cables in place.
