Scalephantomphixer Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 As the wing struts are too small to hold them conveniently I decided to drill holes and insert some wire. I drill at 0.4mm with the help of the binoculars: the width is so narrow that no misalignment can be tolerated. The insertion of the thread which will allow me to hold the struts firmly while the paint dries. Cutting off the desired length... It even helps to consolidate the assembly to the wing.

Scalephantomphixer Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Thank you all guys I changed the mounting strut to accommodate the rigging wires. Then I attach the assembly to the wing... ... which I slip into the body. The match gives an idea about the tiny size of the build. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 And on the fifth day, God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God contemplated his creation, heaven and earth, waters and light, plants and animals, and God saw that it was good.
