Aeriel help.

Big problem with using hair is that it changes taughtness with the humidity in the air (didn't you do that barometer experiment with your own hair in 2nd grade? :)). On a humid day, your hair-aerial will sag seriously. On a cold day it could conceivably bend the mast.

I use 2# fish line for my aerials. Drill holes, attach with superglue. The trick is you don't HAVE to attach it perfectly tight. After the superglue sets, light a match, blow it out, and pass the hot smoke over the fishline. It shrinks. Pull the match away at the moment it reaches the right taughtness. Paint it. Yer done. :)

Aerial, antenna, radio wire, whatever!

Anyhoo, use CA (superglue). Drill a small hole in the fin and attach both ends with CA. My personal choice for antennae would be stretched sprue, but to each his own!

And as to the intersecting line, again drill a small hole into the fuselage and use a bit of CA on both ends, then trim the end that intersects with the main wire using a VERY sharp blade or nippers.
