Thks Guys ;) and the work continues.The upper wing still needs touch-up of DEblue and is just sitting in place as you can see pontoons/engine are rigged about 1.5hrs. of work.The time would of been less but as always like working on a car the last bolt arrrghh! Will the cable on the last pontoon took maybe thirty minutes to affix a bad drill job on my part.

Thks Glenn and Wojtek.I have definitly found my new medium for rigging my 1/32 Tiger Moth I got last week.I do have to kink the line sometimes if the holes are not in alignment but it seems faster than thread.I did 19 pieces of cable in 1hr and the last piece(20) was just a bear.
 
Sounds good. What kind of cable did you use?

Wojtek I am using a #8 guitar string which measures out at .006" and inserting them into brass tubing .020 o/d and .010 i/d.I think when I bought the wire it was $1.65 per pack and 2.5'>3' maybe.By the way I am on pack #3 which I started on pack #1 previously.
 
I know I know will this guy just stop posting more Pics :lol: Promise last one for the day.
