Hi All,
The twin bracing wires between the front and rear cabane struts are pre-rigged.
Also the win wires between the rear cabane struts.
The turnbuckles are fitted on the ends of the lines, but the lines are left loose at the anchor points.
This should make it easier to final rig these lines once the upper wing is fitted,

Hi all,
The underside of the upper wing is now pre-rigged.
This covers the twin flying and landing wires, twin cabane bracing wires, drag wires and interplane incidence wires.
The turnbuckles are fixed on the lines, but the anchor point loops are left loose for final fitting once the wing is fitted.
Now it's on to pre-rigging the aileron, elevator and rudder control horns.
Also the twin bracing wires for the fin bracing,

Outstanding and a very good how-to, when I start my Salmson (in a future, far, far away)

Hi all,
The flight controls are now pre-rigged.
The control horns for the ailerons, rudder and elevator.
Now it's on to pre-rigging the fin/tail plane twin bracing wires,

Mike

This is some beautiful and intricate modelling Mike! I do love the effects and the complex but precisely executed rigging... Regards, Marc
