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

Image Comments Skyediamonds1985 20-Jun-18 23:11 This might help solve our quest for that elusive flat RAFer rigging. I've just ordered this stuff that is used for those who Vape. it can be purchased through Amazon heywooood 22-Jun-18 11:49 it looks promising but my concern would be in keeping it aligned with the airflow - keeping it from twisting etc..without the fittings used on the prototype aircraft to prevent that from happening while drawing them tight and securing them. I suppose working out a method is possible. Hmmm why do folks always find tricky new stuff just when I think I already have an issue solved. This is a terrific find - wish I had known about this wire before I built those race planes lol. I was planning on using a silver mono-filament thread but I'm going to buy a roll of this and see what's what. Skyediamonds1985 23-Jun-18 07:06 Heywoood: That's great news! Glad to hear of your intentions to purchase it. Insofar as the twisting of the flat wire, they solved that issue with the use of long poles mounted on the wires at the intersection between the flying and landing wires. Incidentally, thanks to Hueyv77, that pole is called "Javelin." Right now, I'm "stuck" with the Mustang, but I fully intend to build a model that uses flat wire (any model will do, just so I can use it). Good news: They also come in different sizes. I intend to order up some slightly larger sizes as well as coming in only 50' rolls instead of 100.' DD, thank you! Never thought much of all that hoopla about Amazon. Now I can understand! Duh..... Creosotewind 25-Jun-18 12:36 That is cool. I've been looking for flat monofilament, which is out there, but rare, and thought maybe soaking dental floss with super glue would do the trick. I think you have the solution. biplane guy 25-Jun-18 15:01 Thin styrene strips colored with a silver magic marker work well. That's what I used on my Stearman after Don recommended it.
