In-Flight Display- Acryllic or Wooden Rod?

I normally like to display my models "in-flight". Planes are flying machines, so if you want to show them in their "natural environment" that's the way they should be displayed.
I don't like to drill holes on my models. I use 3 pieces of clear acrylic rod, glued to a base ( acrylic or other materials ) with epoxy glue. I position the rods to be in a way to balance the whole kit, then I use small balls of Blue Tack to fix the model. That way, I don't need to modify the kit with ugly holes.

I've built up several models in "flight" using acrylic rod. What I have done is glue a piece of wood in the fuselage. In the case of a 1/144th B-52B I used a two pieces of 3/4" quarter round molding about 2.5 " long, glued them together and sanded them down until they fit inside the fuselage. This "plug" was glued with Elmers wood glue and allowed to dry for at least a week. Then, I started with a very small drill bit and drilled through the bottom of the fuselage into the "plug" at the angle I wanted. I increased the size of the bit until I reached the diameter of the acrylic rod, in this case 1/4". The trick is to get the angle of the hole in the base so that your model will appear to be level flight or, if you wish, a nose up angle. I found you must compensate for the weight of the aircraft which will allow the rod to slightly bend. Therefore, I drilled the hole in the base at an greater angle and the -52 came out in level "flight."

I would guess you would put one end of the rod in the model and the other end in the base and go from there
