Hi Mike,
You've got things seriously under way there. The 601 series is a light
aircraft, so I'd not tighten cables to more than
20 lbs. 15 to 20 lbs is a good range. If you haven't bought one of
those expensive cable tension gages, you can build one
and calibrate it to the range you need. See links.

I used garage door pulleys obtained from Lowe's, but any like them would
work.

Craig,
The cable tensioner gage can be done freehand from the images. It will
get tension close enough to
satisfy what's needed.
Sorry, I fixed the flip side of the image to "tension 4, see below.
