After awhile I switched to rods on both my Knife and TopCap. It was simpler and less hassle. Just keep whatever you are doing to a minimum in weight. I moved my battery outside the plane and under the stab to save some tailweight. It's not real pretty, but I can drag that tail all over the runway

It's not so much that it's difficult, mine after awhile started binding up for some reason. The little yellow tubes make some wild bends and twists inside the fuse structures on some of the Morris models_bob

Bob,
i'm glad you said that. being that this was my first Morris kit I really wasn't sure weather I should run those yellow guides or not so I opted not to. I wanted the lines inside though but didn't like the directions that came with the plane.
I ran the lines on the outside after the plane was covered. tight squeeze between the ailerons and the fuse.
later when I go down to walk the dog I'l take some photos and post them.

Hope this helps.
the line for the other side of the rudder goes through the profile. I have a guide tube glued in and the line goes though.
I don't use crimps. I simply heat the nylon coated line after a few twists and it bonds nicely. for me this is the way to go.

Its OK to run the cables on the outside of the aircraft though makes it a pain to clean at the end of the day, and will sometimes make some strange noises when flying. I would strongly suggest that you seperate your cables. In other words, do not run two cables through the same guide. You are asking for trouble. These cables will chaff each other. You can't avoid the chaffing the way you've run them. Eventually they will hangup on each other. Of course at the most inconvinient time
Also you are inducing unnecessary wear and tear on them. If they don't hangup on each other, they will break
And you'll loose the aircraft
