Biplane Cabane Question
 
I need a method to mount 3/16" music wire cabanes to the upper wing which has 10-24 T-nuts built into them. I was thinking of welding a fender washer to the end of each wire. On smaller bipes I have used elecrical wire copper terminals saudered to the wire, however, the upper wing is 90" so I need something much stronger this time. Any suggestions?

We have a group build of 7 1/4 scale Camels underway. We used the first clamp under galvanized on our cabanes. Soldered to cabane wire.

Have you thought of using landing gear straps? Of course, that would require installing two more T nuts.

I drilled a 3/16" hole in a large fender washer. I'm going to weld it to the end of the cabane wire. I drilled the hole at the same angle as the cabane so it pretty much sits horizontal on its' own. Thanks for the ideas guys. How about this one...how do you neatly hide the servo wires and the terminals at the top of the cabanes?

One way to do it is put a separate receiver and battery in the upper wing.
