What is the best way to terminate lines at the thimble. Crimp sleeves? Twist? Twist with a wire wrap?
Thanks.

Tom

Hi Tom,

The best line termination (IMO) is as AMA gives in the rule book using copper wire binding and an epoxy coating. If you don't have a copy of the rule book I or someone else could probobly scan it and post it here.

THe (CL) rulebook is also available as a PDF on the AMA website. It is in the public area.

The exact method Randy refers to is in the Control Line General section and is Figure 3 on page 30
