| If you zoom up and look closely, you can see the small brass ringlet just near the tip of the needle, that I'm trying to replicate as bushing for the control horns and rigging. Unless I hear any suggestions, I think I'll have to accept reality of scale and take a more simplistic route. Any ideas? |

| I'm also attempting to replicate the small control horns whose shape is unique to the S.E. 5. I'm using plastic cut from a discarded credit card. I'd like to use the small ringlets of .031" in dia (.8mm) as bushings for the rigging, but its getting awfully small and difficult to see, let alone trying to work with it. I'll upload another picture showing my hand for comparison. |

| Used a small pin vice to drill a small hole for the faux cable to go through. Although it'll be hidden at this point. |

| I epoxied the small pulley and cable to the wing's pulley support I set up previously |

| This shows the perspective of the small pulley detail I'm attempting to work into the wings |

| I purchased a small set of pulleys from BlueJacket. They've got lots of accessories that can be used in aircraft. |
