Manual Reference:  W48,
Brief Description:  "N" Struts

Plans:
1. Complete "N" struts.
Status: Complete. The remaining gussets and rivets were installed without mishap.
2. Start wing rigging.
Status: Started. Two things. It appears that the 1/8" cable supplied is insufficient to rig the entire airplane. In this case I decided to measure it before starting to see if I had enough. I was provided a little more than 32 feet of cable. Each landing wire requires about 7 feet and the cabanes another 7 feet. That would be 35 feet. Taking into account some losses it appears that I will probably run a few feet short. I also am confused that the turnbuckles have 3/8" holes as opposed to the expected 5/16". The lift tangs are drilled for 5/16". And unfortunately the necessary clevis pins have not been found anywhere. So we have more kit shortages to deal with. That said I began by using some red para cord to visualize the rigging routes while I sort out the issues. This allowed me to bend the tangs as necessary without damaging the turnbuckles.
3. Tailor the panel notches to fit better.
Status: Done.
