| In case anyone is wondering how to attach the rigging to the bracket, answer is coming right up. |

Puncturing holes into the brass bracket. Don't worry, it gets better |

Transferred paper template onto .005 thin brass sheet metal. |

Paper template for wing strut brackets. Each has its own special template. |

Fabricating the wing strut brackets by first folding paper to use as a template |

| That's a great photo, Sky. We're blessed in this day and age to have a resource like the internet from which to draw these aids to building. |

| Bevcause it gets crowded at the attachment points, I decided to reduce the size of both the rigging and "turnbuckles" to make extra room. |

Used an old X=Acto blade and rolled back and forth to cut the tubing. If I used a pair of cutters, it would only pinch the ends shut and flare out the ends. |

| Sorry about the spelling. Should've been written as: "tubing" and the brass was the smallest available. |
| Skyediamonds1985, Image # 36494 | 03 Aug 16 22:13 |
Because of the double sets of flying wires, I thought it might be prudent to downsize the "turnbuckles" and rigging to make room at this scale. In this case, I cut small sections from .006 sized brass tubinmg, the smallest size av |

This is probably a better photo of the double sets of flying wires. |

This photo of the real aircraft shows two double sets of flying wires. |

Really didn't want to paint the lovely brass. However, it did dcover up the discoloration from annealing the brass to bend it to wrap around the struts. |
| Skyediamonds1985, Image # 36490 | 03 Aug 16 22:02 |
Brass really sets off the struts. |

My version of an awl.... |

The pattern from the wrapped paper |
| Skyediamonds1985, Image # 36487 | 03 Aug 16 21:57 |
To getr the pattern for the bracket, I wrapped a small piece of paper. |
