Hi all,
The underside if the upper with has been pre-rigged with the flying, landing, incidence, drag and cabane bracing wires.
For rigidity the landing gear has been final rigged with its bracing wires.
Mono-filament of 0.08 and 0.12 mm diameter used with 0.4 and 0.5 mm diameter blackened Brass tube.
The turnbuckles on the landing gear are 'Gaspatch' 1:48th metal Type C for strength.

Now it's onto fitting the upper wing,
