Luckily this is the experimental world.

Phil, if you feel how I have managed the tails of my choke cables on my aircraft to be unsafe and detrimental to the airworthyness of my plane, I truly respect your opinion and experience.

However, I choose to disagree. This choke cable is expensive. The virtually brand new one that was on my plane was frayed beyond use, because it was cut and managed as specified in AC43.13-1B. Time will tell how this new one survives. I am betting on the idea that this technique will work much better for the small wire diameter cable that I used in this application.

If we were talking about flight control surface cables, I would be far more agreeable to your position and cited regulations.
