Hello, I'm currently trying to put together a design for a 1/5th scratch-build project, a Fokker DIII biplane.
This one had bevelled trailing edges typical of many early designs and I'd like to try using a close-to-original cable construction.
I've never done this and was wondering about a few aspects, e.g. what material to use as a cable, how to attach the cable to the ribs and how to cover it such that the covering stays put and doesn't stick to itself from both sides. Or can you simply get away with just using covering?

Any ideas, experiences or photos would be a huge help! Also please consider this an open thread, it will be a long time before I can return to building, feel free to post pics and any details on whatever model you've used these techniques on.
