Wire Leadouts

OhBee,

Use whatever you have on hand...I think I mentioned that I used picture-hanging wire since it was locally available. Optimum? Nope! But certainly effective for my kids' first planes (Roundie-Roundie).

Also note the Wido Master uses stiff wire, not anything special. That wire was chosen because it was on hand, and I needed to "stoke the fire" while my two boys were paying attention.

Neither of those choices will be on my later more aggressive fliers.

As your building and flying improves, then your materials selection can also. But until then, even a plank flying wing can be made from scrap materials so you can evaluate just how much you can/want to do. If you continue in the hobby, then you can plan and purchase higher grade stuff meeting the two needs of light weight and strong enough. I've done a fair job of scavenging and trading with others over the last few years.

Remember, this IS supposed to be fun!
