Wow, thank you Martin for your quick response !!
I am relatively new to aero modelling (only 2yrs in !! 4 yrs of model heli flying and 27 odd years of full size flying, 15 + on the Pitts S1S ).
Thus I totally understand your comment "why did they do that on the original" !!
I asked the question, which you have answered admirably, because i wasn't sure if the wings on the model and their respective wing tubes could take all the flying loads alone. And then if they couldn't, i wondered whether the Vietnamese had attached the wires separately because if they doubled up on a single point (as per the original design) the flying loads would rip the attachment out of the wing !! ... I guess I probably over think these things !! Lol !!
I shall buy one and honour you by rigging the wires as per your build and call it the Martair mod
Regards, Dave
