I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

If you can zoom up, the small piece already cut has been filed round to help fit to the larger plastic tubing. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 24-Jul-16 16:28 Views : 350 For exhaust manifold, the S.E. 5 has a prominent feature. Cut a length of suitable sized plastic tubing and covered the end with Spackling compound. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 14-Jul-16 15:29 Views : 287 Here, you can see that the (now) reduced size can easily fit inside the tubular bead. But in order to make room for the "holding wire" coming out of the struts, I had to cut off much of the end of the plastic. As you can see from comparing the length of the bead and allowances for both the plastic and wire, doesn't really give much strength to this joint. As all things in life, one must consider giving up something in order to gain a desired goal. So the rigging is obviously non-functional and somewhat weak in exchange for the convenience of being able to attch the ends of the rigging and slide them in adjusting tension.

To use larger beads would have made everything out of scale. To reduce the cross section, I used heat to stretch out the ends . The lighter was taped for photographic purposes.

Just wanted to share a bit of good news. I'm sorry for posting this Swordfish biplane. Its over 30 years old and long gone. I wanted to share with you a plan service that's all FREE. It's got over 6,000 plans. Called: Outerzone.co.uk I'm sure some of our senior members would know, but thought you'd like to see anyway.
