"Here is one example, google the internet you won't have to go far. "
So you googled it just now as well, so you saw the Fly-baby failure as well where it was "apparently" a tension differential that caused failure and not a bad nicopress job. I'm not saying anything other than where is the stacks of proof that properly made "at home" cables have a relatively high failure rate. I'm not buying it, I have a guage and use the parts from an aircraft supplier. I have tested mine and can say the rudder/elevator horn will fail before the cable or nicopress do. Perhaps a relatively high means there are a few reports of cable failure in experimentals and only a couple in GA? I might buy that. Just not buying into the bold lettered DON'T MAKE CABLES AT HOME THEY WILL FAIL AND KILL YOU, THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!!! know what I mean.
