Greetings all;
I receeived a PM from Aeroscale member "thegirl" and she posed a question that I have been asked by another modeler . I am posting it here to help anyone else that might find this as a grey area.

Hi there . I need your help and you seem to be the best person for this . I'm still working on my dh 2 , but hit a road block . i can't seem to find a clear enough picture of the pulleys for the in struts for the flight controls . I was planning on using 1 1/2" nut w/4" cast iron washer-cored for .020 wire from Grant Line in 1/48 scale but don't think that this will really work for what i need . thanks



Here is a bit of fun on the locations




The grandtline nut assembly might work out ok but its just as easy in my mind to slice a couple of sprue sections and drill a hole. use fine brass wire to anchor these around the strut and give the ends a twist to loop around the strut end and apply a bit of super glue to secure.
