Default RE: wire strut coils

If you can get one coil to bed, the additional ones are a piece of cake. Additional turns actually follow each other.

One turn works well on my 60 size. I've bent a number of replacement struts. The wire I found was slightly stiffer and appeared higher quality than the original wire that came in the ARFs. One turn gave very good flex. Never had reason to consider more turns. And I'm not sure there would be room for more on the planes I've done so far.
