I have starduster too which like many is a little fat in the posterior, so to speak. I am working to improve this without major surgery.
I have the welded up, streamline tube tail stays on bottom and think I could save 3 lbs going to wire braces. One set of plans says use minimum 5/16. I think (might be wrong) s2 uses 1/4, s1 3/16, sky bolt 3/16, decathlons 3/16. The upper wires are 1/4.
So 5/16 seems like overkill and makes it harder to find these. I probably need 30 inches pin to pin.
Interested in group wisdom here.
