So yes, I fiberglassed the servo plates, the tailwheel skirts, and all of the flying wire attachment plates.

The flying wire attachment plates are plywood, but I feared they would fall apart fairly quickly with the tugging of a wire on them constantly. So I applied Z-Poxy and 2-ounce weight fiberglass cloth to strengthen them. They are hard as aluminum now, and I also painted them to make them look like aluminum.

After gluing in the attachment plates I started making up the flying wires. The kit supplies a coil of wire, and some pre-cut 2mm aluminum crush tubes. Their idea is to simply fold over the wire and put on a crimper. I wanted better, so I installed clevises and turnbuckles.
