Ragwing Rigging

Post by N2520V »

Does anyone out there have any data/experience with the drag wire rigging on the ragwing? I've got a wing rebuilt, but have struggled to find any data or info on tightening the drag wires.

Thanks.

The 120/140 club has a section for service bulletins that addresses how to tighten drag wires for rag wings, we have a link to their websight. nick
