I haven't even looked at the sprues because I'm resisting, even though I could easily score one for this month's presie giving occassion(weeding anni: 15 years). But when I saw mentions of holes in struts for rigging, my first thought was, "That doesn't make any sense." I'm not an expert on the rigging of every aircraft in the world. But I did help rig a real biplane and those streamlined rods attached to the wings, not the struts. Because if you think about it, what good are struts if you lose the wings?
