Adding strength to fuselage. Small depron pieces are inserted inside the fuselage to add some strength.

Cut the wing from 3mm depron and sand it to 1mm. Bend it to make aerofoil shape or even the flat wing works. Bend the centre line to make V shape. This makes it fly much slower and stable. I added a small piece of metal wire to hold the V shape.
