MerlinV, Congrats on your maiden. A very nice looking Pup. You will have en exciting yet easy flying plane to take on those Fokker's.

FYI: our club has mostly switched to: 1/4 scale using 40 or 60 lb stainless steel 7 or 9 strand fishing line and crimps and 2-56 Clevis for elev/rudder pul/pull cables and the wing rigging. For 1/3 we are using 90 lb. they have held up on many models over past 5 years.
