Default control cable protection question

good point on hidden cable strands. i will use fairlead or delron..



Good Man!

As a side issue, remember that the cable WILL be excited (mechanically,
if not emotionally), and will want to wiggle all over the place.

(Got to be a better description for this oscillation, but...)

Anyway, cable throught a fairlead (rather that rubbing over a flat
edge) will kill the oscillation at that point - and the cable will
stay in one place.

Fairleads - rather than a protective edge.

Did that make any sense at all???
