Thanks for your words
This is the first time I ever design a paper model, and I'm liking it!!! :D
I will surely make some more things in the future. Don't know what, but I will!

Works great for axles of biplanes, propeller shafts for rubber band planes, wing wring on the cross sections, like real bi-planes, they won't stress out the paper.
This what we did when I worked for a company that made aircraft instrument parts. It works with any gauge wire, it just gets a little tricking with really thin stiff. Works great on Silver wire also.
The plane needs nothing. I only offfer this suggestion because I (still) play with most things I build, even if it is just siting on the sofa making vroom and rat ta tatat tat sounds.

Thanks for this interesting suggestion!
It sounds like a nice add-on and a great way to add strenght to a model when they go on those special missions :D
