Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have the controls installed in my 701 and everything is looking good. I have the newest CNC 701 fuse and the newer controls that come factory with the divorce mod.

I see on my plans there are turnbuckles about midway up the elevator cables running through the fuse with swaged eyelets and shackles.

I do not see, however, a specific length i am supposed to make the cable between the control horn/lever and the turnbuckle. Does it matter? is there a specific length? 

I would imagine placing the turnbuckle closer to the cockpit hell hole would make adjusting tension and length easier. 

Does anyone have a specific length they can recall making these cables?

Thanks,

Mike.
