What are people using for the wires in the wing and where do you source it?

I bought mine from Hans and Sam and I was quite happy. They were the perfect length and had rolled threads.

I have been in contact with Hans concerning building a set for my build. He said that he would need two orders minimum to justify setting up his machine. I’m definitely interested in a set so let me know when you would want yours and maybe we can get him to make them.

I appreciate the offer but I’ve already made a set for my project.

I have been in contact with Hans concerning a set for my Classic. He needs a minimum of two orders to change his machine. He quoted me CHF 1200 which is about $1,350 for the set of 24 rods.
You can contact him at: h.u.gautschi@bluewin.ch You can tell him that you talked with Ewell Young and that I’m ready for a set.
