RE: RE: Scale Gee Bee Z question.
gbzflyer,
I'm still experimenting, but so far I've used an aluminum tube for the stabilizer strut. I flattened the ends, bent the ends to conform with the angles of the stab and the fuse, drilled mounting holes and mounted to the strut mount on the stab and to a mount I had to fabricate in the fuse. I used Kevlar thread for flying wires on the tail surfaces, using the looped part of fishhooks as anchor points. The wing wires are braided metal wires from a control surface pull pull system.
I wanted to leave the wires on for flying. To do this the wing will no longer be detachable or I will have to devise a hook where they attach to the fuse. If I had to do over I would use elastic cord for static purposes only and fly with no wires.
