If you need scale rigging for flying model biplanes then take a visit to your local fishing tackle shop,here you will find excellent rigging material in the form of fishing trace wire which comes in different thicknesses,for connecting you will need to purchase a few small crimps which double back on themselves and squash up with a good pair of pliers.
To make excellent attachments go next door to the electrical shop and buy some solder tags ! these can be placed underneath the interplane struts which are made from spruce with wire ends which are pushed into special thickness wing ribs and tacked with a little cyno run into the joint ( what did we do without cyno ? ) if the wires are stretched tightly it will lock everything into place and the model will be very strong indeed.
The only thing that you cannot use the wire for is streamlined rigging,something that I have not solved yet to the scale of our models.
