| Thanks but I'm up to the real pain in the you know what part which is working out the rigging. Anyone got any suggestions on what works well for rigginf in this scale ? |

| I've used fishing line, and that works well. It's on my tigermoth if you want to see. Not sure what weight the line was, but it was fairly light. |

| Craft stores have an elastic monofilament line that is used for beading bracelets. I used it on my Piper Cub for some of the interior rigging. It stretches and will stay taut without much stress on the wings. |

| I use fine stainless steel straight wire cut to proper length the glued in place. John O. uses piano wire. All the suggestions work. A combination of some will work also. |

| I have used fishing monofilament to rig models. Big selection of sizes. Cut to approximate length and fix with CA++. Use a warm/hot iron to shrink the line taught |

| Monfilament for necklace beading Comes in an elastic version. I purchased some to try when I need to rig wings next time. |
