Fast forward to landing gears, bullet shaped fairing, and brackets in place and ready for installing to fuselage. |

Landing gears and struts during the early build. Used basswood with several coats of varnish. That white "thangy{ being held by the needle nose pliers is the rough shape of the pilot's head rest. |

Pun intended, but this is the "end" result of rigging with pins between the two wing struts. I sincerely thank each and everyone for your support. |

Sorry this is the other side. But basically sized the plastic rigging and turnbuckles to fit and simply slipped them over the pin cut to the right size. |

I simply took a regular pin and bent it at 90 degrees as close to the head as possible. Then inserted it through the hole made in the bracket |

Came up with (to me) a somewhat novel concept. It's basically a continuation of using wire to hold the turnbuckle and rigging in place -see my previous postings |
