Dave did you solder them while they were in-place? Is there any way to adjust them? I was thinking of doing the same thing except have one of the clevis' threaded. I agree about the flying wires, I don't know why people are so hung up on them having to be functional. If any body wants functional flying wires, they will need to change the screws for bolts and use 2-56 or 4-40 wires for them to be strong enough. I've seen a couple of these over powered, one with a fuji 64 and the other a 3W-75, the wings have not yet come apart.
