Pull-Pull on the Knife?
Worked about 3hrs trying to figure out the pull-pull setup on the Morris the Knife? I have to be missing something really simple!!
Does anyone have a close up picture of their setup so that I can see how this is supposed to look. I can't see the pictures in the manual well enough to understand what it's supposed to look like when you done.
Are you going through the copper tube 3 times or the servo arm 3 times? I think I should be going into the servo arm just once, and the tube 3 times? That tube seems REALLY small to put that cable in there 3 times... But a good picture would be worth a 1000 words!
Thanks!

Pull-Pull on the Knife?
Here's a pic of the rudder end of one...
All are connected the same way...
Slide wire thru crimp tube... then thru the eyelet of the threaded pull-pull end, back thru the crimp tube then back thru it once more...
once you get everything fairly taught, snug the "last loop" thru the crimp tube by pulling the loos end until the loop in almost to the end of the crimp tube and crimp.
Another hint:
Loosen the threaded ends in the clevis until it's only in maybe 1/8"... you WILL be tightening them and want the room to do so... If you have them screwed in too far to start, they'll bottom out leving you wiht no tensioning ability...

heres a pic, I run the cable thru the brass tube, then thru the servo arm, back thru the tube and then bring back around on the outside of the tub and back in thru the same opening you went thru on the 2nd pass, pull it tight and then crimp the tube with pliers, heres a drawing
