I have an Acro Sport I originally built in 1986 and the lower wings had to be re-covered. So they are back on and rigged. However, can anyone direct me to some material on the proper tension for the flying wires?

The tools we have are a tensiometer for a Stearman that predates WWII. The wires are Macwyhte.

If it helps I've attached a picture.
