[WWI] Wingnut LVG C VI rigging question

[James and Linda Fahey]

Hi Jamie
There is a tiny hole moulded into the end of the spreader bar for the rigging wire - make sure you attach the spreader bar the right way up to use the hole.
Here is a closeup photo of the Shuttleworth LVG which shows it.
Have you checked out my Slow LVG Byuild over at the other place? I posted the photo there.

I glued on the undercarriage last night so I'm just about at that stage as well.
Happy Modelling
James

  Hi guys;

  Where exactly do the bracing wires for the undercarriage attach? The fuselage attachment points are clear, but the Wingnut instruction sheet is not clear as to where the other end of each wire goes. I've looked at the other builds online, and noticed that I am not the only one confused about this point. Some people have attached the wire to a yoke around the axle, others have drilled a hole in the forward landing gear strut on each side. Still others have attached the wires to the ends of the rod that goes in front of the axle. I've looked at a lot of photographs and drawings but none seem to resolve this.
