Wire Wing Hold Downs

This is the best thing since slide bread, in my opinion.  It only takes a couple of minutes to cut and bend the wire and it makes finding the center of gravity a breeze.  What I like is that if want a plane that is a little tail heavy, just slide the wing forward slightly, and vice versa for nose heavy. 

If you're concerned about them slipping, don't be,  I use them on all of my high wing SPAD's and I know that Tattoo uses them on his combat planes as well.  I have never had a problem with them slipping except on the "hard" landings.

Here's one of Tattoo's combat ships ready to go with "wire wing hold downs" in place.  Also note the one holding the fuel tank down as well.
