Bud, did you rig this with EZ line? I prolly missed it. I like the idea of a stiff wire to plot pre-drilling. I'm thinking that also requires a major tape-together-pre-fit in order to establish the lines and angles. also what did you use for the crimps in the rigging ends?
On this one I used smoke colored invisithread from the local fabric shop.  To bind the ends, I use polyimide tubing.  http://www.amazonsupply.com/translucent-amber-miniature-polyimide-tubing/dp/B003TLNL5I/ref=sr_1_1?sr=1-1&qid=1359148509&filterBy.feature_seven_browse-bin=5485625011#sortBy=gauge_string&sortByD=asc&showAll=true&enableAjaxForVariation=true&asin=B003TLNL5I&ref_=sp_dp_sall_2&ajaxHash=true
Pricey, but nice.
Cheers,
Bud
