One suggestion I have about making your job easier when doing turnbuckles is to use a turnbuckle tool (the cup holder). HPI used to provide one int heir kits some time gao, not sure if they still do it. Clamping the cup gently in a vice (perhaps using some soft jaws or something soft to cover them) helps a lot.
