Do it, but expect them to flap up and down on the fuselage floor. I added a
clamp around the nylon tubing that I encased them in to prevent this. I
encased them from the firewall to the first pulleys, resumed from there to
just beyond the cockpit module. It was at the extreme end of the CM that I
added the clamp to each cable. The turnbuckles are just aft of that. Also
they need support at the mass balance containment bulkhead. I borrowed these
ideas from those who went before.
