I had a little help so I got out the nicopress and connected the cables from the
control stick to the ball crank.

You will want to trim off the tag ends of the cables where they stick out past
the pressed sleeves, just so those ends don't hang up on anything. It will look
a little neater too. When I re-did the tail brace wires on my airplane I slipped
some heat-shrink tubing onto the cables before making up the thimbles,
then slid it back over to cover the tag end after the pressing was done and I
was happy with the connections. That was on thimbles that I had the chance to
make myself, but since I didn't originally build my Piet, there were some thimbles
and shackles that had some fraying cables that would snag my cleaning cloth
or hand (ouch) and I couldn't get heat-shrink tubing onto those, so I used
safety wire to whip those down smooth (wind over the cable connection with wire).
Wire wrapping gives a more old-timey look, too.

... another little trick, adding onto Oscar's, is to use a small piece of
electrical tape to pull the tag end against the standing cable before
sliding the heat shrink tubing over the tag end. The electrical tape will
keep individual wires from poking through the heat shrink tubing, now or
later. cheers, Ken
