Norman Veber's Nieuport Ni-17
(click the image to go back)
Norman used .005" stainless steel wire for the elevator
and rudder control lines. For the flying wires, landing
wires, and undercarriage bracing wires, he used .005"
"Wonder Wire, " a very rigid ceramic wire. He
replaced the plastic tail plane braces supplied in the
kit with flat wire and photo-etch bolt details. The airframe
was detailed with cross brace wires and photo-etch turnbuckles.
He added a "metal" shoe and clamps to the tail
skid.
