Outstanding!

Dumas doesn’t provide rigging diagrams or include materials like thread etc. for the purpose. On the Dumas kits I have built I used reference books from the library and internet images as guides. Also worth noting is that Dumas provides propellers, shaft, bearing and wheels from Guillow - they seem to buy the bagged parts in bulk from them instead of making their own.

I am building the Dumas P-26 infilled and Dumas does not show any rigging...lol.

Except for the outermost thread, all the thread is run through the strut by using the needle held by a pair of hemostats and then through the next strut. A small touch of CA away from the exit hole on the thread will hold it in place. Real planes are not rigged this way at all. The only place the thread passes through the wing is in the outermost position and that just happens to come out in the black cross on the bottom. Plans normally detail the rigging sequence.

Not sure how that happens. I assume you glue to the fuselage first as it is wood and then pass the needle through the silkspan wing and glue to the underside. Touch of paint maybe on points where the needle came out.

As usual beautiful. Now we need a tutorial on rigging.

Thank you. This came as a surprise and does not make me want to build others but it was fun, albeit a bit on the small side!

Your consistency is equal to your quality standards, Dave - and it’s a HIGH bar either way..excellent Phalz!
