Hi Guys
My first post here and I am currently rigging my S1C and have two questions.
First the wire stays.
I was planning on running a reference string parallel to the center line of the fuselage and align them parallel to that.
Then align them to 0 pitch referencing the the cockpit longerons.
Does that sound about right?
Second is I noticed the streamlined tail wires are not parallel to the plane when its level. They all appear to be pitched up a few degrees in reference to level.
Any thoughts on that?
Thanks in advanced for the help and advice.
john
