Okay, finished up the remake of the ten flying and landing wire attach tabs that I screwed up on the first go-round. Once the new parts were cut out, fabrication involved the welding, heating forming, drilling, reaming and powdercoating. Once complete, I installed same, replacing the aforementioned problematic tabs.

The first pic below shows the lower left wing landing wires attach tab in position. On the black pad are the first tabs that I drilled the holes too close together resulting in the terminal ends interfering with one another. D'Oh!

The middle pic shows the new rear flying wire tab installation. All four were remade, the first ones were too short by 1/4", pictured beside it on the black pad.

The third pic below shows the forward flying wire attach tab. All four of these were too short and remade about 3/8" longer each. An original is pictured beside it on the black pad.
