Other components completed - Canard Foreplane wing, two triangular fins for the canard, Rudder, Stabilizer, Elevator, and two Ailerons. The Wing Struts all have a 0.015" piano wire sticking out from both ends.

Richard: What did you use to simulate the brass sleeves on the struts??

RayL - The glass square rectangle shaped "Compliments" Instant Coffee jars have a round opening at the top. It is always sealed with a thin, aluminum on one side, and a coated shiny brass color on the other, a very thin - 0.001" and bends the same as tin foil - "freshness seal" that I keep cutting out with a sharp knife and saving - take a piece of printer paper, wrap it around the strut end, mark the lines to cut with a pencil, cut it out, test it again, mark up s better one, over and over until you have a nice blank, trace the blank out onto the back of the "freshness seal", cut it out and CA glue it onto the end of the strut - it wraps around nicely holding its shape.

Another good example of re-purposing. Thanks Richard.
