so yesterday I went to start my 5ive t and my pull cord snapped :mad:....so i thought hm killer rc has the ss cable upgrade and i like the idea because im sure you have all been there with your first run of the day and it went to poop because of the cord. So anyhow I made my own since its out of stock on ddm. This wasn't a terrible pain in my ass but now she is nice and buttery smooth20201018_161144.webp20201018_161154.webp

Thats just the plastic coated steel cable right ? what size ? and how did you knot the ends or block them ??
 
Its 1/16 coated cable and i bought these cable stops/crimps just make sure they are crimped good or the cable will pull out...and ypu need to cut a little bit of the sheathing so the crimp can slide over the bare cable....i just went out and tried it and it works nice. Just make sure to give the pulley and extra wind or 2 to compensate for the cableScreenshot_20201018-174622_Chrome.webp
 
Nicopress sleeves. Use to terminate cables and put loops on ends for control surfaces of airplanes.
