These cables are available from Wicks and Aircraft Spruce. I am going to use them on an original design just because it would make cable routing easier and the wings fold something like the Kitfox. This made setup and adjustment very easy. I don't think I would use it on a KR. The KR system looks to be simple and if done correctly it would be very smooth and not bind at all. I have only flown one flying machine with push pull cables (Pioneer Flightstar) and it was stiff in the controls.

Knowing that a 3 foot cable is like $24.95 or more, I would think this kind of setup would be pricey, and you would come out far cheaper just using the 2 cable runs that you can make at home with wire and crimper. The must use it due to space issues, etc... If it were alot more economical, I know Cessna and Piper would use it and they are not except maybe on the throttle, mixture, or prop controls. I would think that even a pushtube system would be should be cheaper...
