Thank you very much!
RiggingAt first a small amount of wood and brass parts are needed:
The upper right parts are for the tail skid, two layers of wood.
After mounting it looks nice, luckily it could not be directed.
The upper right part in first pic is a small strut, which could be added due to change of the kit layout of the front. It is clearly visible on the orig pictures.
I started the rigging of the upper wing, much easier in this state.
On the lower wing there is a problem! There are only cones, with makes a) the line up and b) the secure mounting very hard.
My solution: I drilled holes in both wings on the backwards cone and plugged in 0.6mm nickel silver.
Just plugged both parts stays strongly on the fuselage.
After the careful mounting of the struts the rigging could be finalized.
For location of the turnbuckles I used pictures of the Tabloid in Hendon due to missing other sources. E.g. here is a turnbuckle for the wing warping, the wire ...
... goes over the pulley in the upper struts to the other side.
The Gaspatch turnbuckles are mostly of type "One End" and anchor points, but here I have used two of type "Albatros", ...
... to connect the foremost struts to the gear.
So the battle against the rigging is over!
The air screw and the wheels need some care and the whole biplane a bit weathering - this project come to an end soon!
Cheers,
Frank
