Default Cable Length

I asked this question at the end of a thread in the Clubhouse and didn't receive an answer so I'll try here. I am building a kit that will use a pull-pull system for the rudder. Becauseof the positioning of the elevator servos just ahead of the tail, the rudder cables could end up being of different lengths. I don't visualize that being a problem but thought I would ask folks who have used pull-pull systems in the past. It seems to me that if one cable were 5 feet long and the other 10 feet long, as long as there were no slack in either cable, moving the control horn 1/8" either way would move the rudder the same amount. Am I making sense?
