Do folks normally do anything special with their leadouts? It seems that it's standard to terminate ones line with grommets (to keep them from wearing out, I assume). But my leadout kits never come with grommets, leading me to believe that the 'standard' is to just make a loop of wire..
Is this an "oh, you never need that" item, a "you'll crash before you ever wear out the leadouts" item, or "it's really a good idea to put them in even if it wasn't done in the 60's" sort of thing?
And if I do want to grommet my leadouts, is there someplace that I can get grommets and cable in bulk? I could machine my own grommets from round stock, and win most "my plane has more custom machined parts than yours does" contests, but it'd sure take time...
