It does not matter which end you begin, the servo or the control horn. Take one end
of the cable and slide a crimp onto it then thread it thru the eye of the rigging
coupler and leave about 4-5” of excess cable beyond the rigging coupler.
NOTE: For a clean appearance I use heat shrink tubing and slide it over the crimp
and coupler for a finished look. If you choose this then slide the heat shrink tubing
on first, it may be too difficult to put it on later.
Take that excess and slide it down thru the crimp again, now slide the crimp
toward the rigging coupler till there is about ½” to 1” distance. You will have what
looks sort of like a teardrop in the cable, then loop it back thru the crimp once
more. If you are satisfied with this then using a pliers, or similar tool, squeeze the
crimp till it is flattened against the cable. See figures 36, 37 and 38.
