Hello,

I've just started assembling the right wing for a 14H Maranda (finally! a "big" piece).
Thinking ahead, I have a question about attaching cables (such as drag anti-drag) to brackets. My question: Is there an alternative
to using cable shackles to attach the cable to the compression strut brackets?

The plans call for using strapping such as that used on large boxes, but I am not 100% sold on that method and am considering the more conventional and accepted turnbuckle method.

Thoughts and ideas?

Thanks,
William
