Rigging The Sopwith Camel Cross-Wires Fairing (Acorn)

[Chris Johnson]

I'm currently building the WnW Sopwith Camel 'Clerget' and arrived at the point where I had to rig the Cross-Wires Fairing, often called the Acorn, between the front cabane struts. The problem with this is that it has to be positioned in both vertical and horizontal planes: 7 mm below the under surface of the top wing and centred between the cabanes. After several failed attempts, I finally realised that there is a very simple way to accomplish this task. In the event that others are approaching this rigging job with some trepidation, here's the way I did it and it took only a matter of a few minutes.





Cheers,

Chris
