Almost a guarantee, eh? ;) I attend several model engineering shows every year and every display has ropes, or other means, to prevent visitors damaging displays. Sure, in many cases an adult visitor might be able to reach over and touch but visitors to these shows all have respect for the amount of work invested in a model. Most stands are run by clubs and members are always on hand to answer questions and keep a watchful eye. -- Stuart Winsor Only plain text for emails http://www.asciiribbon.org |

Filing would help but I personally will not be setting this display up over and over and the depth of the mounting stud "in the airplane itself" will be ever changing, which would change the location of the flat spot on the rod. Now if only I could find a key way slotted threaded rod..... Sign up the the Yahoo 7x12 minilathe group or the Yahoo X series mills group and ask. Someone will probably produce some for you. About a 5min job on a mill. If you were near me in the UK I'd do it for a couple of beers. I've made sawdust a long time but a couple of years ago bought a cheap Asian 7x12 minilathe and a tiny X1 mill (Now have a much bigger mill/drill) and I've taken to making swarf too. For so long there was the situation "what I need for this job is....". Now I just make it. Absolutly great. I can be completely free and imaginative about the way I can tackle projects. -- Stuart Winsor Only plain text for emails http://www.asciiribbon.org |

It can even be bent cold as long as the radius is not too tight and it isn't made in China |

My preference would be to organize a strong enough mounting bracket and mount the planes vertically or sideways higher up on a wall. Not my call. |
