Hello all. I Just bought a used GP skybolt and need to make a few small repairs. The wire braced sruts attaching the top wing to the fuselage arn't so wire braced anymore. They need to be re wired or something. Can someone please tell me what I need to do this? Is the wire soldered or epoxyed on? What there looks like it was epoxy. Here is a pic of my wire struts now:


BTW: this thing is ugly as sin too, check it out (hey i bought it complete for only $100!)

Any insight on this task would be great, I am hoping to fly her this weekend.
