ipmsusa2 Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 Any recommendations for which color of EZ Line is best for rigging on biplanes? French Blue or White? Or am I better off staying with invisible thread/fishing line monofilament or fine music wire? Since I'm planning a biplane kit build for a YouTube channel and/or a biplane Modelbuilding Guide, your opinions are more than a little important. Thanks in advance.

66Foxtrot Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) I had no idea EZ Line came in different colors. I'd recommend ceramic wire. Edited November 26, 2022 by 66Foxtrot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 If you're set on using EZ Line, neither color will be correct, since flying wires were generally metal. However, they were also not "shiny", so generally a flat aluminum or black color is what you want. The easiest way to get that is to use black Sharpie pen, or a silver colored ink pen to color the EZ Line. I'd buy the white, as it'll take either ink color the best. Personally, I also recommend (and use) Wonder Wire (ceramic wire) for rigging. Gil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipmsusa2 Posted November 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Looks like I'll stick with Invisible thread, fishing line monofilament or fine music wire. I'm used to it and have never had a problem. Thought about EZ Line since it stretches, but since I would have to color it I'll go with the tried and true. You know what they say: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
