Does anyone know how tight the wing drag/anti-drag cables should be ?Do you get it square and twang each cable until they all sound alike ?Happy New Year to all, Mike C. ________________________________________________________________________________

Mike,I just got my drag wires finger tight plus about two more turns. This resulted in nice twang. My friend Bernie who has built a bunch of fabric planes says to tighen them up till they sound right? I told him that helps me a lot. So he came up to check them and said they were just right. I just check them the other day and they still sound about the same. I'm not sure but I think there was something in Tony Binglas' books about tighting drag wires.Craig________________________________________________________________________________
