Time for flying wires...

At this point your to epoxy the ply plate to the rails then the servo tray to the top of the rails. once this is done your ability to access the inner fuse diminishes.

I've been toying with several options for flying wires. From the real thing to "faux" wires. The number of wires needed and the time to assemble and disassemble at the field eliminated real wires. I read a review on the GP BeeGee here on RCU and adding flying wires was shown http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/a...article_id=351

The results looked good but when I reviewed my WWR photo's the wires are very different. The entry points into the fuse and wing are clean going through the skin with no hardware shown. I decided to use the silver plastic lace material and make one continuous wire from the left gear up through a 5/16 styrene tube in the left wing to another styrene tube through the fuse out to the right wing down another tube through the wing and to the right landing gear anchor point. This gives only 2 wires and 4 clevises to deal with at the field.

Please give some feedback on this approach. The only consideration I see so far is the former for the engine mount. I dry fitted the former and it's real close to where the tube needs to run (see photo). Having the tube a few mm aft may be necessary.
