I am assembling Boreas.  All parts are sanded and wing got aerofoil shape.  Wing joint is single dihedral in centre. Ufortunately, wing cannot just sit on fuselage. Probability of wing getting folded at dihedral during flight or simply fall off during assembly is quite high. Wing joint is the weakest area. The wing need some sort of support.  

Any suggestion pls?

I have received the Eurus which has a square spar of balsa which needs to be put on either side of the fuselage and the tailplane (under the area where the wing and tailplane will sit) for providing support. It will probably be there as a single spar 3x3mm.

I had added a strip of Balsa spar to each kit which would provide as a support to the wing on either side of the fuselage. Pl let me know once you find it.

At last after weeks of patient waiting I got my stuff.....the winder is a very good thing both as a collectible and for usage
the B2 was a litlle broken from the end along with 1 rubberband. BUT MY TRUSTY CYNO IS ALWAYS THERE WITH ME...SO FIXED...
all the balsa kits were fully intact not a break......
all in all i am happy with the stuff.....
NOW ANY ONE HERE ??????????WHO CAN  PROVIDE ME WITH TANSPORT RUBBERBANDS :help: :help: :help: :help:

Old cycle tube cut to required width and long enough as required. Visit any big department store and check the "car accessories" section. You should see sprays to "protect" car trim and rubber parts. Buy one of those and spray the rubber strip with that to ensure longer life.

they canot be used...they have very less coefficient of elasticity  and also they will  be very short

This one looks very much like a modded Yellow Bird.
Don't know the performance but the YB is a classic and sure flier and if you know what you are doing gives good duration too!
