Cable Leads: Seize eighteen (18) Cable Leads; one end of a Turnbuckle with 7/8" thread from the
Turnbuckle attachment hole. Glue two (2) Cable Leads into the Front Spar inboard anchor point as
seen in the picture on the previous page and on the Plan Sheets for each Wing (Left and Right). Then
glue the remaining fourteen (14) Cable Leads into each anchor point above and below the Wings.
Make sure that each Cable Lead is glued securely in each anchor point, the last thing is to have is a
lead come loose while rigging with the Wings in place on the Fuselage.
Now carefully align each Wing with the Wing Sockets and press fit them into the Wing Sockets.
Ideally, a tight press fit is desirable to hold the Wings level to the ground in the Wing Sockets which
will make the Wing Rigging easier. If too loose in the sockets try pieces of paper or even paint to build
up the difference. Should trimming be needed to fit, trim slowly and carefully to attain the tight fit. See
the picture on the next page.
The Turnbuckles on the Mast Assembly should be in place, however if not add them as seen in the
picture on the next page. Now using the plans as reference cut a Cable Line long enough to go from
the forward Spar inboard anchor point up to the mast head and back to the outboard anchor point and
add about six to eight inches long enough to tie knots. Tie the Cable Line to the inboard Turnbuckle
Lead then through the hole of the mast head Turnbuckle then back to the outboard Cable Lead and
seize the Cable Line on that Turnbuckle with enough tension to keep the line straight, but not raise
the Wing but to keep the Wing level. Now seize the Cable Line with small black thread as seen in the
picture below. Now repeat the process for the other Wing.
Warping Cables: Now it would be wise to seize the Joystick in the center neutral position with a
thread line from the Joystick to both sides of the Fuselage Stringers if not done already.
Now cut a Cable Line the length needed to go from the Rear Spar inboard anchor Cable Lead on one
Wing to the Mast Head pulley and back down to the inboard Cable Lead on the other Wing and add six
inches or so for knot tying. Seize the Cable Line at the Left Wing inboard Cable Lead Turnbuckle
and them up through the Upper Pulley then back down to the Right Wing inboard Cable Attachment
point with just enough tension to keep the line taut without bending the Wing. Now repeat the process
for the outboard Cable Leads through the Lower Pulley. Make sure the Cable Line is taut again
without raising the Wing and keep them level.
Once the Upper Rigging cables are in place now the same process will be repeated below the Wings.
The forward Spar Bracing Cables are seized at the loop at the bottom of the forward V Strut again
