I remember the build. It was good then, and still looks good.

Actually on the original aircraft there was a smal bit of rigging on the conventional undercarriage. But due to the cantilever box spars in the wings and their multiple attachment points there was no need for typical rigging layouts between the wings. There is a set of stay wires on the upper surface of the tail plane for the rudder's stabilizer and the usual control wires for the flying surfaces.

Nick, It is a great subject to build if you want to avoid rigging. It will also allow a builder to learn how to set a top wing into place. Just remember Terri makes all these early aircraft look easier than they really are.
