RE: Frank knoll Cristen Eagle wires
Really nice work, Tony. Did you make the flying wire attach fittings? What about the clevises? I would love to have some more detail on your work.
I've been wanting to start a biplane for quite some time now. I try to keep an eye out for hints and solutions to various issues such as the construction of cabane and interplane struts as well as the construction and attachment of flying wires. I have often wondered if I could somehow use bladed bicycle spokes for flying wires? Although the selection of spoke lengths is limited, they do seem to offer a more "to scale" look than round rods or small wire rope.
Great thread, BillyJ. Hope you get a lot of response.
