Control cables for gliders

Mike

I have tried to send you a direct email but each time it has bounced.
Re cables, has the Florida manufacturer of the Krosno (now Peregrine)
changed the desiogn? If not, you can buy what you need from him.

Is there room to replace the swaged-on ends with normal eyes
where the cable is attached by threading through the eye,
using a thimble to avoid abrasion of the cable by the eye,
and a Nicopress sleeve to complete the attachment ? In this
case, also see the Aircraft Spruce catalogue for complete
turnbuckle assemblies with a variety of ends.
Alternatively, they also have swageable screwed ends, but
they would probably fit AN or similar barrels only.
