RE: Byron Wedell Williams Racer Build
Back to the Horizontal stab flying wires. A appropriate thickness of 7/8 dowel was cut and drilled. I estimated the scale location and the dowel will be epoxied here. The wire attaching brackets for the vertical stab are made from 0.032x 3/4 in brass. To get the proper thickness so the fittings were snug I needed to double it by folding it over in a vise and tapping it flat. The bend is at the top end, next was to drill the stab mounting hole then cut it free from the strip. measured and drilled the holes for the wire anchors. These are screwed in place and accommodate the threaded 4-40 rods. Filed to shape and then polished with 600 sandpaper gives a good finish. The horizontal stab wire locations were measured and drilled for # 2 bolts that will anchor both top and bottom wires.
