      Thanks.  I assume the reason the fairleads are slotted is to facilitate wing removal
      inasmuch as the rivets could be drilled out and the fairleads removed from
      the cables.
      
      I seem to remember seeing quickbuild kits at Oshkosh that simply had a hole in
      the fairlead, not a slot.
      
      I see where it says to use a piece of safety wire across the slot to prevent the
      cable jumping out so am I correct that the tension of the cables usually pulls
      them against the nylon portion, not the safety wire?
      
      Sorry if I seem a bit dense but I'm just trying to make sense of it all.

      Tim,
      
      The wings can be removed by disconnecting the cables from the bellcranks in
       the wings.  
      
      Some of the fairleads are slotted so that you can make up the cables with t
      heir terminal devices and still be able to get the fairlead in place.  If t
      here is a hole instead of a slot, the cable must be threaded through the ho
      le before the terminal devices are installed.  The slot is mainly a conveni
      ence thing.  With the safety wire in place during installation of the fairl
      ead, it just makes handling easier. .  The way they are situated and aligne
      d, there is not much chance that the cable will jump out of the slot after 
      it is installed, so the safety wire is just a belt and suspenders thing fro
      m that standpoint.
