REFLECTOR: Happy Nicopress Holidays!

[Alex Balic]

That is correct- an un compressed sleeve looks like a figure 8 in section-
the crimp compresses the top cable to the bottom cable- he has tried to
crimp across both cables (90 degrees) off of where it should be.

Andy;

I believe the tool is correct; but he needs to squeeze the sleeve 90 degrees
to what he did.

Wow, been quiet on the reflector.

Probably like me most have been too busy with the holidays to build as much
as they would like.

But, I just received a question from Dmitry Shapovalov.  He is in Russia and
is building a fast build SERG.

I met him at OSH and we had a great time.

I have encouraged him to join the reflector and he will probably be on
shortly.

I have not gotten to the point of attaching the rudder cables yet, so I
can't answer his question.  So, I'll put it out here and see if anyone can
help him.

Hi Andy,

 I have one trouble :)
 I get nicopress tools from AS&S catalog. Photo in attach (article  12-12400
in AS&S) Then I get it I read  manual for using and find info only for
LOCOLOC sleeves. I have  NICOPRESS (like 8 digit) cuprum sleeves. Can I use
this tools?  I try to use it, but get not good result (see photo). I think I
have  wrong instrument. Please help me.


 Best Regards,
 Dmitry Shapovalov
