I tried installing the plastic tubing but that actually made things worse, forcing the cable out of the wrapup past the sheetmetal shield. So I removed the tubing and found that if I removed about 2 feet of cable from the wrapup then that fixed any binding and tangling problems - so I did that. There are 3 loops of cable in the wrapup but we could probably do better with 1.5 to 2 loops at most when the wrapup is fully tightened, but I left it that way and just pulled excess cable length out of the wrapup instead. It is best to have the MkIV running while watching the cables with one side of the sheetmetal shield removed, so you can see where full wrap and full unwrap is and how the cable behaves dynamically when the barrel is moving between those extremes. I left enough extra cable for an extra 1/4 plus revolution of tightening since the Spar sometimes gets into that funny crash mode where it goes that much extra and stalls. Keep an eye on the barrel angle readout to make sure nothing binds which would make the barrel angle reading stay at a strange reading or slightly oscillate there. I think it is fine now.
