    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web.

Does anyone know how much tension the drag and anti-drag wires should be under? I noticed that I can hear two of them vibrating together when I "strum" one of flying wires (have been adjusting the flying and landing wires to get them all rigged properly). I noticed in Beej's pics that there is a plastic crossbrace that ties the two wires together too. I didn't build my Skybolt and I'm not sure if I need to cut an inspection hole or not... Would welcome any feedback from you guys.
