I have a little question that probably only someone with an as of yet unbuilt GP Skybolt Arf can answer. I'm in the process of "building" one of those and thinking about adding flying wires, because bipes just look better with them.

On the inside of the fuselage sides, below the slot where is horizontal stabilizer is inserted, there are two vertical, maybe plywood stripes. These can only be seen through the slots for the stabilizers before they are glued in. Now, only after having glued in my stabilizer, I've come up with the idea that these vertical reinforcement stripes would be a good place to screw in the mounting points for tailplane flying wires. Of course I have not taken measurements of where exactly these vertical stripes are located. Can someone help me out with those?

Greetings,

I couldn't come up with an accurate way to measure these vertical strips located just below the horizontal stabilizer saddle. They are very difficult to see and they looked like balsa to me. Measured from TE of fuselage: both rear at ~75mm; one fwd at ~125mm, the other at ~130mm... (Measured to strips with pins on centers as best I could.)

Thank you for the quick reply. I almost didn't hope to get one for such a model specific question.
