Had a day without my landing gear working properly, so that meant a day at the work bench! Found these Angels 20 Axis & Allies 1/100" scale planes among Hunter's things, set them aside for just such a time. Thinking aerial B o B mobile for a grandson or two or three.
Need a plan, some carbon fiber rods, thread and a bit of patience.
I found a blob of sticky tack and a needle with thread helped find the desired balance points on the planes
And these great jewelry wires with eyelets bent perfect for hangers.
Drill the holes, insert the wire, bend the wire, tie on the thread x each plane.
Hang each plane near the end of each rod, work in pairs, a bit of masking tape helps keep things in place, from then on its a question of balance . . .
A drop of glue on each knot keeps you sane as well . . . Now one from B-17s for papa clipper!
