Thanks for all the replys
Piano wire must be the stuff as the other strut wire is hard to bend just noing what size i need to order now!
And have added more photos of the 1 strut on the plane so hopfully you can work it out more clearly.</p>
You can also buy special "strut" hardwood that is haped into a slight airfoil. It is available in different thicknesses to mimic struts used on many biplanes.
Balsa suppliers should have it in stock.
Often the hardwood is reinforced or backed by a wire strut as in your plane.
