RE: Pull pull, Solder or crimp?
I crimp all my pull-pull installations. Those planes are generally 28 to 40% and weigh up to 27 pounds. Others crim their larger 40 and 50% planes weighing over 55 pounds in some cases. No glue, no solder, just crimped. A 25% 202 is not going to stress a well assembled pull-pull installation to the point of failure. Simple fittings such as 4-40 machine thread hook eyes will hold on a 40% plane if so desired.
They don't have to be made to perfect lengths, that's what the threads in the connectors, clevises, or turnbuckels are for. The lines do not need to be, nor should they be, guitar string tight. Just not sagging or floppy is fine.
Don't make more work or weight for yourself than is necessary. This has all been done thousands of times before now.
