| Thank you. I have another question. Why join flaps and ailerons with wire and hinges when only hinges will suffice for a display model? It would allow me to paint these parts separately and not be attached to the wing to allow more precise painting. Then I could attach the hinges as a final step. Even Guillows mentions joining hinged parts as a last step? |

| I cut a Diet Coke can into strips and use that for all my builds. The cans I use are real thin so I fold the strips to double the thickness. I just build for display so maybe some of the other members can suggest material for flying models. |

| Nice. I am a new member. I am attempting to build the Corsair kit that you finished. What did you use for hinge material? |

| When I had RC planes, I hung them from the wall by their tail feathers using standard adjustable shelf holders, the kind that is a track on the wall that you slide the shelf brace into. I'm currently remodeling my "art room" and plan to build shelve that fold down to hold the airplanes to be displayed. Still working on the plans for that. |

| The piano looks great. KI think maybe it's enhanced by the planes. I like the wall idea, but my wife overruled it. So they hang upstairs. |

| Does anybody else hang their models on the wall or am I just an oddball? Bob I have a wide variety, over a hundred rolls. |

| That sounds like a super project EB - what sort of music on roll do you have? ( Sorry to digress from model flying machines, but there are some very wide interests on VA member lists) - great team! |

| Thanks guys. Brian I gave a few to the grand-kids and friends but I still need room for the new ones. Bob, I always wanted a player piano so I bought one. I purchased a book, refinished and repaired the wood, took it apart and repaired the bellows on the player action and now it plays. Unfortunately I don't know as much about music and instruments as I do about repairing things. From researching I do know it is a Schaff Bros. Co. piano with a Pratt Read player action. I installed a motor because pumping the foot pedals will wear you out. It's over a hundred years old. Probably out of tune but when I crank it up it brings a smile to your face. |

| What type of piano is that EB? We had a Monnington & Western piano in the UK, some years back. It was a double iron frame, over-strung & under-damped, a very nice piece. What spec is your instrument? Like the aero display too, the Corsair looks super. |

| Hi Brett, welcome to the site. You've come to the right place. There is a wealth of information here. I'm fairly new to this site also. Gluing plastic parts in general is a challenge for me as well. If you look close at my photos you'll see that I skipped the retractable tail gear in favor of a stationary one made without the plastic. Check some of the more experienced builders and you'll pick up a lot of great tips. Only info I can give you on the plastic is to take your time, don't cut too close and sand the remaining plastic. Good luck and post plenty pics of your build. |

| Hello. I am new to this site. I ordered this kit because I like your build. But is there a "trick" to gluing the plastic landing struts together? They are small. So is is the moveable tail landing gear. Any suggestions or a web site that could teach me? |

I was working late and noticed this on the wall. Thought I'd share with the group. |
