John, What I did on my XL was I ran a nylon cord from each connection on the bellcrank through the wing rib holes and tied them together at the root for safe keeping. As you are making the final attachment of the wing to the fuselage you attach the cables to the bellcrank side of each cord and pull the cable through. Now you can make a reasonable guesstmate on alerion cable length. You swedge the cable ends to the bellcrank, connect, and the feed the running ends through the fairleads on the side of the fuselage. Then you push the wing on in and bolt it to the center section and rear spar bracket. Then cut and swedge the in board ends to fit. As designed by ZAC you can remove the wings by disconnecting the bellcrank ends and pulling them through as you pull the wing out. If you do this remember to re-attach a cord to the cable ends so you can pull the cables back through when you re-attach the wing. I hope this makes sense. Was not very difficult to do, best regards,
