On a Champ with stainless tail brace wires, what should the deflection be at the center span and what weight on the scale should the deflection be at?

Ron, I have a set on my Champ, I like the sound of "D" when I thump
them, been there since 1979.

Lowell: Checked the other Champs at the field and they are all different in tension. Went with the tightest sound. Could be a D note, or close to it. Being stainless it changes slightly with cold and warm days but I think it's in the ballpark.
Thanks.
