I might add that the wing-warping rigging is confined to the two outer most rear struts only. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows 1903 Wright Flyer Build 30-Jun-15 20:32 Views : 2355 Its only after the wing-warping and internal rigging is complete, when the "outside" rigging is started.

This whole assembly is held in place by the main tube just glued to the engine axle and the other end to the prop mount. Pretty fragile set up. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows 1903 Wright Flyer Build 30-Jun-15 19:42 Views : 2046 The assembly is complete. The main support is on top, the two tubes containing the drives chains are on the bottom supported by a small brace.
