Default RE: Frank knoll Cristen Eagle wires

Powered by ZDZ80 RV with JBMcanister. You can see were the upper aileron wires meet the cabanes. I ran all these wires and rigging before the covering was started.

The plane needs more nose weight, the original construction had two Hitec 5945 on the rudder mounted in the rearin a push-pull arrangement, after two years I replaced these with a single7955 on pull-pull, made a small improvement. Still need more nose weight. Considering replacing the ZDZ 80 with a D&B 85 twin this winter, not sure however. By plane weights 27 pounds, it's not a 3D machine.
