The right amount of tension is when you grab the rudder (or ele) and attempt to wiggle it back and forth.... and there is no feeling of slop. If the arms are long enough, it takes very, very little tension to achieve this.

If the holes in the control horn are slightly behind the hinge line, this causes one line to go slack with movement. This doesn't seem to hurt anything though because the force of blowback in flight keeps things tight. Sometimes it is difficult to get the holes exactly on the hinge line, so this is preferable to having them in front where the lines would get overly tight with motion.

I put a drop of CA inside of the pinch tube, but did not go completely through them twice as suggested. That is kind of a pain, and perhaps necessary when fishing for 200 lb. halibut.
