Howdy Gerardo,

Thanks for the kind words.

As for the rigging on the Peashooter and the Stearman, I originally was going to use Monofiliment fishing line, but when I remembered how far back in the garage the fishing poles were, I opted for "tie twist" like come with plastic garbage bags or bread wrappers.
These "tie twist" are a thin wire, usually coated with paper or plastic, which I burn off until only the wire remains, then I heat one end and allow it to melt into the wing or fuselage of the model. Next I bend the wire in the direction needed and trim it to just about 1/8th inch longer than it needs to be and using "hemostats or forcepts" I heat that end of the wire and melt it into the proper position also.

I hope this helps someone, have a good day,

Greg
