The next and complicated step, the rigging. I made roundabout 60 hooks and eyes from 0.1 wire and 0.5 alu tube. For the eyes, I used a 0.25 needle.

For the bracing wire, I used 0.1 fishing line and maybe 90 pieces of an alu tube.

Album info

My long-term project, the Albatros D.Va as an eggplane, is nearing completion. The last fitting problems have been resolved and the settings for the 3D printer are now also correct.
I am currently assembling the last prototype for the normal version.
I would like to show you the pictures here.
