Gidday, 
I am in the process of sorting out some turnbuckles and would like to know
for the cable thimbles if I need cable eyes or pin eyes? The difference is
the internal curve on the cable eye, which I would think more ideal for
distributing forces onto the turnbuckle. I am setting up the tailplane mass
balance weight with a pair, and intend on having the turnbuckles forward
spliced in with nicopress, and nicopress alone at the aft end. Similarly I
will be using the same turnbuckles, the MS Clip-Lock Variety for my rudder
setup.
