Design #3 is the simplest of all,the flying wire is just turned back on itself with the plastic tube acting as a crimp on the wire.

The bottom attachment points look bad,the upper points are cleaner and more ship shape,I think that I will remove the "S" fitting thingies and see if that will make things look better.

You know on second thought ,I placed the airplane at scale distance and took a look and it hardly makes any difference,especially on this airplane which is a homebuilt.I think that I will leave it as it is.
