Creosotewind | Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon | Parked | 16-Mar-10 10:33 | ![](user_aircraft_thumb600/16987.jpg) | Views : 628 | Still steerable. I ain't broke it yet playing with it. Without the copper tube and brass pieces, I don't imagine that these built kits would last too long in a kid's hands.But seeing that four of these kits I own were only partially built when I bought them, I'll bet most of these kits were never completed in the first place. |

I pretty much followed the stinkin' directions (as my wife tells me) but substituted copper tube and brass jewelry pieces for the wood parts. I figured it would be much sturdier that way. |
