a) Cut the struts from strut stock, making them overlong, then poking
them through angled holes drilled in the wings and adjusting to fit
(this is somewhat easier);
or
b) Cut the struts from strut stock to EXACTLY the right length, then
drill tiny holes in the wings and in the ends of the struts and use
a very short length of guitar string pre-bent to an elbow shape
to fasten the struts to the wing (this is more realistic).
The problem has taken on the character of a mental block. Since I got to the
present point I've taken that kit out many times, stared at it for a long,
long time, then given up and put it away again. In the past I haven't had
much luck in "cutting things to EXACTLY the right length", and the other way
seems rather heavy-handed. Has anyone else met this problem? Suggestions
welcome!
