Default Pull-Pull Elevators

I've had pull pull on a few airplanes and I'm starting to get jack of it to be honest.

It's hard to get the geometries exactly right so you don't get differential on the elevator halves...

But at any rate the easiest way to connect the cables is to run one cable to both halves, i.e. one v shaped cable to both top halves and one v shaped cable to both bottom halves.

Put a crimp connector on the line, pull the cable through a hole in the arm/bellcrank and then thread the cable back through the connector, and down to the elevators.
I use pull pull connectors and sullivan clevises and it all works well.

it's still time consuming and IMHO not that accurate.
