Used 2-56 rods for struts, along with some Dubro nylon atachment points and clevises. The whole setup is probably about half an ounce for the 4 rods, two on top and two on bottom of the stab. Starting from about half way out on the stab, one pair goes to the top of the fin and the other screwed to the bottom of the fuselage, on the ply plate. Wires can be used because these are only in tension, but couldnt figure out a good anchoring and tensioning arrangement for the wires.
