I'm ready to close out the vertical stab by attaching the right side skin and this is the last opportunity to attach the co-pilot cables with Nicopress sleeves at about FS128. One now obvious design flaw is that once the co-pilot cables are attached and the VS is closed, the placement of the Nicopress sleeve on the cables makes it impossible to remove and replace them! The probability of having to do so may be low but just try to imagine the Nicopress fittings failing on one cable. Now assuming you could employ a 13" midget with a 3" Nicopress tool to go back there and work at FS128, it would be a piece of cake, no problem. But where do you find the right midget with the right tool??? I conclude that I don't really need dual controls but if I did, dual brakes would probably be far more useful. Any and all opinions on this subject will be greatly appreciated.
