Need some information for setting the wing wire bracing on a Hy-Tek Hurricane. (Phantom or Spitfire Ultralight is very much the same.)

As you can see there are wire braces above & below the wing. There are slides on the top wires to tighten the tension. Do I need a cable tension tester/meter? I've never dealt with wire bracing for the wing before and I'd like to get this correct the first time. With the great variety of talent on this board I'm certain someone has an answer.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Dale
