Very delicate work there. Nice aircraft to build.

A question Norm. How did you go about the rigging ? Also materials you used.

I used EZ Line, brilliant stuff, it bonds well with superglue, and stretches to something like 700% of its original length, so it can be bumped into with out fear once in place. Wingnut Wings - EZ Line Fine Charcoal 0.15mm x 30.5m - easy to use rigging thread

Thanks for that norm. That is one I use & really good. Also use knicker elastic thread which is very similar. Also used drops of superglue to represent the rigging connectors which looks effective. This has all been on WW11 radio rigging.

Did you drill all the way through the wing or superglue to the face of the wings ?

I drill almost all the way through, but make sure to leave the other surface intact.
