Re: Wing nut Wings FE2b
But it's oh so worthy the effort!!!
Love how you got the double lines so nicely separated. Mine were too close and wanted to stick together.

I've used the same technique on the Mast of the PBR, so Bob's Buckles can come in handy in all sorts of applications.

Re: Wing nut Wings FE2b
I keep stopping to take photo's...it breaks the monotony :laugh:
I'm about a 1/4 of the way there now. another wing to go, then the tail section which i haven't worked out how to do yet as it doesn't have turn-buckles.Then all the control wires.
slight problem i have is the wings flex very easily. 18 inch span is rather a lot for thin plastic, so my lines go slack and taught as they flex.
Note to self.....buy WnW own rigging thread if I am ever stupid enough :gogo to do something like this again as theirs is elastic so will stay taught. I'm using .0128 mm fishing line which i can tighten later with a hot blade.
I have snapped one of the rigging lines on the short strut behind the cockpit and i dont know gow i will replace this as its almost unreachable behind other rigging.

Re: Wing nut Wings FE2b
Shhhh....don't say anything about the one that snapped...
When I was working the Pup, I could not help to thnk that Scale Hardware or someone could make actual turn buckles that allow tightening. But elastic would work also!

Don't know MP. It sounds good till I remember trying to adjust bicycle spokes to true up a wheel.
AND THEN :fencing :fencing :fencing I remember what it's like . Elastic sounds much saner to me making it possible to do it without the for PBR.
