Does everyone go with the turnbuckles and cables, or are there other ways to makethese wires? It just about kills me to order $3000 worth of turnbuckles forall six Piets. There's got to be a better way.Does anyone have info on spoke nipples and solid wire? My Jr.Ace has solid wireswith cut threads (I am not builder of this plane).One of our builders has a PA22 and it has smooth wires and compression fittingson wing and tail feather flying wires. These fittings just squeeze the smoothwires.Barry________________________________________________________________________________

The GN-1 calls for solid wire for drag/anti drag. I'll be doing mine withthat method. The ends of the wires are threaded and have forks. I believethe Aeronca Champ is the same way.DJ VeghN74DVwww.raptoronline.comMesa, AZ----- Original Message -----

The Christavia, a Canadian design, uses solid wires with threaded ends andinstead of forks uses motorcycle spoke nipples.The nipples pass through the spar on the neutral axis and bear againstwashers on angled blocks.John-----Original Message-----
