2 questions though - do you have a pic of what the finished article looks like (model or full size) and what are the black diagonals between the fuse longerons/spreaders and on the wing between the ribs? Looks like carbon rod or tube??
Hi Rick, thanks... Proctor has a picture of theirs on their website
here.
The black "diagonals" are thin/round bamboo. They're made from bamboo skewers I think, but very thin - I haven't been able to find any replacements that were the same size. They're functional though, the fuselage is really flimsy until they get set into position. The "drag wires" in the wings are made from the same bamboo material, they're also functional.
