RE: Dymond 52" Tiger Moth Build Thread
The last modification I did was to add guide wires. This required a few modifications to the fuselage. I replaced the carbines wood screws with 2-56 hex cap screws with blind nuts. The wood striped out easily, so this was necessary. I fashioned guide wire holders using electrical solider tabs.
I used Du-Bro 917 micro clevis .032 and 28 gauge wire to complete the wire rigging.
** Update to rigging. I replaced the 28 gauge wire with black elastic cord from Michaels Crafts because all the wires snap while in flight. I think it was a combination of the virbration and the wings flexing that caused them to break. Since they are for looks only, replacing them with the elastic line is no problem and is easier to work with.
