How to Hang Model Airplanes

Make sure that your masterpiece stays in one piece by hanging it.

The painstaking process of building a model airplane is rewarded with a realistic result that can be a decor feature in any enthusiast's room. Hang your model airplanes from the ceiling to keep them safe and create an attractive conversation piece. You can make your own airplane "hangers" to get your plane off the ground. Use nylon fishing line, which can't be seen, so that the planes look like they are flying.

Things You'll Need

• Nylon fishing line
• Eye hook

Instructions

1. Select a location where the airplane can hang without getting in the way of passersby.

2. Cut a length of nylon fishing line that is at least 20 inches long. Loop one end around the wing where it meets the fuselage. Lay the free end over the top of the nylon line and loop it around the back to form a loop. Feed the end through the loop four times and pull it tight. Repeat with the other side.

3. Twist the eye hook into the ceiling. Push the hook in as you twist it. Twist it all the way in so that it is securely anchored. Place the middle of the nylon string over the hook to hang the airplane.

Tips & Warnings

• Ensure that the knots will not slip out and that the hook is securely inserted to avoid damage or injury.
