Part 2: Fuselage


Tissue tubes are used to mount the wing on the fuselage (motor stick). Tissue tubes are made by rolling tissue paper on a round former (in this case a drill). The candle is used to rub the former with, to coat it with a thin layer of stearin, which prevents the tubes from getting stuck on the former. A nail polish bottle can be used to store diluted glue in, and has the bonus that it comes with a convenient brush.
