Stunning work Phantom, the only type we were expect from you!

Id attach a fine thread or string to the stern just in case when steaming them on open water, Ill do this with my Arrows.

I think I will steal that idea about some form of line.   Very Happy
I am thinking maybe the light twine used on kites.

I'd reccomend braid fishing line rather than the nylon type.

The fishing line sounds like a good idea, should be water resistant.   Very Happy
In an effert not to look like a complete plonker in the local fishing tackle shop, What do I ask for ?
Only thing I know about fish and fishing is in an aquarium 5 feet away from me now...   Embarassed  Confused

Id say so Phantom, it will surely help protect your work and investment should things go t*ts up on the water!
