Hi Björn,
in my understanding, that's expected behavior.
If you want to have a sinusoidal course to the endpoint, you have to let the spline overshoot on both sides and then trim these ends.
The control points must in principle be set as follows:

@bjsscp , fit point spline is not really meant to a mathematically precise curve. It really just tries to find the "nicest" curve that fits through those points. This is where the "overshoot" comes from. However, each fit point also has tangent handles, which can be edited to reduce or eliminate that overshoot. Making the initial and final spline tangent directions horizontal and vertical can help. Then, dimensioning the lengths of those handles can give you some control over how the spline behaves at those fit points. I can't guarantee that this is a true mathematical sine curve, but it is closer, I think, to what you want

Hi,
I think @jeff_strater s approach is much too complicated and delivers a miserable quality.
One must also note that splines are not only determined by the position and length of the tangents, but also by their angles and curvature.
I created the above procedure again with the necessary constraints and parametrically.
The ends don't have to be trimmed.
So you can better approximate the curve to the sinus.
I think the quality speaks for itself.
