This
is our new quick rigging anchor system, designed specifically to speed up
the rigging of larger bi-planes (1/4 scale & bigger) with fully working rigging at the
field. This system negates the need for turnbuckles, It
can be retro-fitted to existing aircraft, but some of the covering
will need removing, and replacing afterwards to do this.
Generally,
aircraft less than 1/4 scale (around 2 metre span) do not need fully
working rigging.
This diagram is
part of the easy to follow & fairly comprehensive instructions
supplied with our rigging anchors. |

The photo shows the parts
supplied for anchoring & tensioning 1 wire only.
(Optional brass or steel rigging tags below).
A typical Bi-plane
will need 6 units, 4 for the flying wires, and 2 for accommodating the
interplane strut cross rigging wires (1 port, 1 starboard, see
How rigging on
Bi-planes really works).
We do not consider these
units suitable for rigged mono-wing aircraft such as Blackburn or
Bleriot as those wires are generally of fixed length.
