1) Fix one end of the wire as shown in drawing A
and photo B.
Don’t forget to insert a second ferrule to fix the
other end.
Note: aluminum ferrules are supplied in the kit,
as opposed to the steel ferrules on the prototype
shown in the photos.
2) To achieve the correct tension, make a 90°
bend in the other end of the wire, a millimeter or
two short of the distance between the lugs. See
drawing A and photo D.
3) Insert the wire completely and fully bend the
ends to 180°. Check that the tension is not exces-
sive. You can bend the stainless steel wire many
times without compromising its integrity, in any
case, there is ample wire supplied.
4) Attach wire completely as in the drawing C.
More than one wire can be attached to a corner,
see photo E.
NOTE:
Although the full-size Fokker had transversal
wires at each station of the fuselage, this is not
necessary in the model, as only the two transver-
sal wires behind the pilot seat are needed for
strength.
