      Well gang here it is! Port wing is built and strung. I used 3/32x7 cables drawn
      twang tight (no turnbuckles, Clotilde). It werent easy. Asides from the usual
      adjusting and tweaking, triangulating, squaring and creaking, I also had to modify
      my crimper to get into some petty tight spots. Just to set a hemline, once
      everything was crimped and cut I set a five pound weight where the cables cross
      and measured the sag. 7/16. Suppose only time will show the folly or wisdom
      of my choice here. I know its not per the plans but I hope its per the spirit.
      Ill try and report back in a year or so.

      Well Dan, the plans call for the wing drag/anti-drag wires to be 13 ga. hard wire,
      but who knows what the strength of that wire was, back in 1932?  Your 3/32"
      stranded cable is just about the same diameter as 13 gauge, if the table I looked
      at is correct.  Both 7x7 and 7x19, 3/32" galvanized aircraft cable are about
      1000 lbs in breaking strength.  My guess is that your wing will be as good
      as most and probably better than some.
