Improvisations are welcomed
 I guess the cannons must be pretty heavy. |

Yes the cannons are a little heavy..but not as heavy as the engines...
i'm glad that the engines are close to the fuselage that is better for the mounting point.. I hope the wings don't collapse when they are in battle position...that i'm really scared for.

Today i tried to lift up the x wing..
And the wings stayed down....... Didn't looked good. So i have to think for an easy fix......and find him fast.

The 4 wings are installed..
My solution of my weak wings is...when the glue is dry i want to place the x wing with the nose up. then open the wings and install 4 metal rods for the upper wings. the under wings i glue some plastic sheets to strenghten the attaching to the folding mechanic.

You could try those milled brass angle strips that you get in hobby shops as an internal support for the weight. You could slide it up the inside of the wings, and join them in the fuselage, with pivots, so that the wings can be put into the required positions...
aa171.jpg I dont know how much damage you would have to do to the existing build to do it thou.....

well..
The problem is the wings are closed and filled up with a sheet of carton to give it more strenght. The wings are attached to the engines..but the underside of the engine is also an open engine so i cannot use a copperbeam which goes from the one to the other wing. Also i have a metal tube in the fuselage which is used to make it sturdy...wing mechanics and to install the x wing to the wall mount.. and because of the tube i cannot use a large beam to attach the 2 opposit wings.

i slept a WHOLE night about my wing problem..
And the only way i could imagine was to fixate the wings in my position i want..(that's the battle mode) So i glue them to the hull and i hope that they will stay up.
