Hi Folks,

Had to make a mock display for a large boeing today.
Couldn't upload it here (don't think I have access to add pictures) - but I have uploaded it to my website gallery where you can view it at the following link:

Decided to use weaving for all the wings, tails and rudder.
Wingspan was 1.3meters and therefore had to use uninflated balloons over the body of the plane to keep them in place (unless someone has a better idea?)
Engines under the wings used 4x321Qs.

Great jobs both of you.

Uploading picture problems are usually due to their size and you will need to resize them using software.

Hi gkavonic

That's a really neat plane, I have a question, how did you attach the tail pieces?

thanks Andy  (Twisty)

Hi Andy,

This was one occassion where I decided to use glue dots in order to keep the rudder and tail wings neatly and securely attached to the main body.
The wings on the other hand are much larger so I decided to use the balloon supports.
I suppose I could have passed wire through the wings and under the body of the plane as there was plenty of space within the wing cavity but I ran short of time.
