Default Tail Rigging

I've been using Bob Holman/Mick Reeves flat wire rigging wth threaded studs silver soldered onto each end. Then metal clevises threaded onto them. They are attached to the tail surfaces with stainless steel rigging tabs, bolted straight thru the dowel inserts. So there's a metal to metal joint between the clevis and the tab. It looks slick and very scale, and I've never had an interference problem.
I've since rigged the wings of a Waco biplane this way, but I haven't tried it yet.

Cheers, Nigel
