Stretch the cable tightly to remove all slack and crimp it to the servo
arm similarly. There is no adjustment possible once you crimp it, so
make sure the rudder and servo are both in neutral position and the
cable is taut.
For the elevator cable, make the rear end loop first. Attach the
horizontal tail to the fuselage, fix the elevator in neutral position, run
the cable to the servo.
Crimp the front end of the cable to the servo arm. Here you may
want to use a smaller length of the servo arm (middle hole) since the
required elevator deflection is normally smaller than the rudder
deflection and a smaller servo arm is needed. You may want to
verify the achieved elevator deflection before crimping the cable
permanently.
Both cables in place. Optional guide tubes can be used to keep the
cables near the upper fuselage wall. The tubes of course must be
threaded onto the cables before crimping them to the servo arms.
