[TowerTalk] Rotor Control Cable

[Mike & Becca Krzystyniak]

I guess I would look at this like a coax or cable bundle.  
Some individually label them, others stripe them, and I'm sure there are
other simple methods.

Sounds like a nice economic advantage if you don't mind two cables.
IMHO, you can always mark or stripe the 4-wire cables.

Keeping the color code straight would be tedious...

looked it up online YET, that the wire gauge is the same in both types of
cable, is there any hurt, harm or danger in using 2 runs of the 4 conductor
(total of about 60 dollars) vs 1 run of the 8 conductor (about 90 dollars)?
