I have always loved the feeling of finishing the construction of an object and if I don't have something I need or want I usually give it a go to build it from what I have. Usually though, I look at a boring object or piece of rubbish and see what I think I could make it into , and make it into that to exploit its (in my opinion) potential. I live in South Africa and go to Wynberg Boys' High School. On weekends I volunteer at Ysterplaat Air Force Base at an Air Force Museum and mostly give tours for visitors.

Step 3: Wings
Make sure you have the correct slits in the trailing edge of the wings.[Picture 2] Bend both of the wings up from the centre line.[Picture 3] This angle is called Dihedral. If the wings slope downwards that is called Anhedral, but in this model they slope upwards to the tips of the wings. This allows the aeroplane to stay upright while it flies and it would otherwise tend to wobble in flight. Simply slide the wings through the hole in the fuselage and ensure that they are facing the right way. They should fit well with the centre line of the wing hidden by the fuselage. Use the pictures and/or the sketchup model in the next step to see how the wings should look when they are in place.
Image Notes 1. This is the front (Leading) edge of the wing. 2. This is the back (Trailing) edge of the wing. 3. Centre line
