Default H9 Cap 232 1/4 pull/pull failure!!!

I installed the H9 pull pull on my Cap 232 the way they recomended in the manual. I also installed the same setup in another plane I just finished, a GS300. Well I took my GS 300 with a new saito in to break in at the feild today, and while the engine was running at about 1/2 throttle the pull/pull cable snapped, completely from the surface end, and outside of the coupler. The solder held, the cable snapped. good it was on the ground.
I'm using pull/pull in a few planes, but I use the Dubro style,never having a problem. I will be converting both of these planes to the Dubro pull/pull, and anybody else that has this plane should do the same. That H9 single wire the way it is not very good. Dubro uses a braided cable, and the ends are not soldered, but wrapped, and crimped. Daz...
