Dragon's M48A3 instructions say to cut both tow cables to 62mm. I cut one and it seems really short. Is 62mm accurate or are Dragon's instructions wrong (shocker). What would be the proper length? Thanks

Towing cables were 10 ft long, inside the eyes. They should be long enough to fit the end clips with minimal slack.
That length (62mm) is 85 inches. That might be the length of exposed cable between the forged eyes, but you have to see what style eyes they are using, and which style is correct . . .

thanks. 10 feet works out to roughly 87mm. That definitely seems like a better length
