Just going through my annual and found a broken drag wire in my L wing. Third bay from the wing root at the front, sheered off at the thread. The cross wires at the rear spar also in the 3rd bay are also very loose. The outermost drag wires in the wing are taught and normal. Anybody know of a procedure for replacing drag wires in a covered wing with wood spars? I saw there was an article in Cub Clues from 2007 and have requested a copy. Looking for any insight possible to avoid a complete re-cover.

Thanks!
Tyson
