I hope I counted correctly 2,4m is about 94,49 inches. (1 inch = 2,54 cm)

thanks for the reply Warlord, I thought it was 79 in.?
I've started Tamiyas' FAMo & Transporter. I've gotten to the winch assembly and it directs to:cut the string into 2m 40cm!! That's over 6 ft, I think. Is this a misprint?

Yes, Google is great for conversions like that.
Just enter "2m 40 cm to inch" or "240 cm to inch" and you get it.
