Simmo.b Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 I have made a fair bit of progress and will soon have this one done (fingers crossed). I rigged the wings with ezy-line (great stuff) by drilling right through the lower wings and threading a short length of cainis fly tying line through one end of a Gaspatch type C turnbuckle, that's the one with a eyelet at each end. The loose ends of the cainis are threaded through the hole in the lower wing and secured with a drop of cyno, a cocktail stick is then jammed in the hole to secure everything until set, once set the cocktail stick is trimmed hiding the exit point. This allows the turnbuckle to move freely. Once the wings were attached I glued lengths of ezy-line to Bobs Buckles eyelets and placed them in the holes in the top wing that wingnut provide. When the loose end of the ezy-line is threaded through turnbuckle in the lower wing and pulled tight, the turnbuckle moves to the correct angle as it is free to swivel. Hopefully the following pics tell the story! You can see the awesome Aviattic lozenge, even the weave of the material is rendered!! The next posts may feature the finished item, Thanks for looking!!
