Hi Grant,
In that case I'd advise the rest of the family to leave and take a good sedative  ;)

Hi all,
The wings are now fully rigged.
This includes twin flying wires, single landing wires, incidence wires, wing brace wires, drag wires and cabane strut cross and fuselage bracing wing wires.
I've yet to airbrush the rigging to knock back the shine..
Next up is fitting and rigging the landing gear so as to lift the wings and prevent contact damage to the aileron controls (when fitted).
Then it'll be ailerons, rudder, elevator and their control line rigging.

Amazing. I'm sure you've mentioned here or on another build but what is your rigging material and gauge etc?

Hi all,
The aileron control line have now been rigged.
It's difficult to make out on the photographs as it's a larger models to focus on.
Next up is the landing gear before I move onto the rudder and elevator controls,

Hi Steve,
I tend to use 0.08 mm diameter mono-filament for control line and some bracing wires.
Structural rigging I use 0.12 mm diameter mono-filament.
I use 'Steelon' or 'Stroft GTM' line, both transparent,
