man i did the wing after oyo's pictures
using string and the wing with 1.5m long was stiff as... i don't know :)))
but it was very stiff
i regret i don't have camera :((
as i suspect early flayers :) used some kind of strings or cable because
they have just two materials to build planes
wood and steel
we have just one and it's more like wood unlike steel
so we are foredoomed to use string
and don't be scared
strings can go just inside the superstructure
biplane don't have to have strings between upper and lower wing
both of them can be stiff enough to handle themselfs
