Waldo.Pepper Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Great project indeed. I am green. Would be happy to devote some time to such a project! If I may, I the pins are called Clecos. They are basicaly clamps that are sprung internaly. http://yardstore.com/index.cfm?Action=V ... ategory=89 The clecos feature prominantly in both A Plane is Born and A Helicopter is Born. Two fun tv series from England where a host builds plane/helicopter, then flies it at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
