Just wonderful, so creative and well-done. Interesting how today's passenger jets are using the upturned wing tips. When I was a kid, we used to fold our paper airplane wings that way.

Thanks Skip!

Yes, I used to fold the Paper Wing Tips up that way too... B)

Very nicely done! You have quite an imagination... B)

The canopy really looks sharp. So did you wind up dipping it in Future?

Thanks for the kind words Harry!

Yes, I did dip in the Future a few times, it's Great Stuff... B)

I'm told that the wing tips folding up on the passenger jet wings is a fuel savings thing. I don't know how.

That's Right!

I saw an Airline Commercial that mentioned the fuel savings with the Tips... B)

Ira when you dipped the canopy how did add a handle to the bubble?

I grabbed it!

I grabbed the very end, diped it in, pulled it out, put it on a steel rack and with a Q-Tip I put more Future where I had touched it... B)
