Default RE: Horizontal Stabilizer strut

The steel leader wire looks good, especially on a WWI plane that uses actual wire, but they tend to stretch and get slack over time. Most of your 30's planes used stiff rod instead of wire, Cubs use the rods, so it isn't "out of scale" sort of. I have used these spade terminals for a while now, never had one break from vibration.
