Rather better than the original Tost bits! Do the pulleys have sufficient radius to allow the cable repair swages to pass freely? The original deep 'V' profile jolted the cable badly and fatigued the repairs. Larger diameter pulleys and radiused root help a lot. I notice that there was quite a bit of tension in the cable on release. My winch driver instruction included power reduction at the top of the launch to back release painlessly! Good for novice nerves on AEI flights.
