What's everyone else doing and if you are using turnbuckles, use the same as for the aileron linkage to the control column?

You will need turnbuckles in the control circuit to take out any slackness which occurs over time. I have still to decide wether to put them at the cockpit end or the tail end. Putting them at the tail as shown on your photos is good for easy access but puts extra weight at the back end which is undesireable.
