I am also a little bit scared, but then I was thinking.. I should buy the cheapest bi-plane only to test rigging on. Nothing else, no painting etc, just rigging rigging rigging... and then when I feel comfortable with it, I would build a "real" one...

Good idea Kari! I never thought about that. Looks like a trip to Hobby Lobby armed with a 40% coupon is on the agenda this week.

I've been watching a couple of youtube videoes on how to do rigging on a biplane model it and found one interesting. One that involved using a lasso method and a small brass tubing and EZ line.

I did find one other where I swore he had tiny brass eyelet screws embedded on the top and lower wings.

Great build with very special camo.
The wooden propeller with the metal tops look absolutely great!
