I've tried wiggling them around, and all it does is makes a funny buzzing sound somewheree in the model, while the back edge of the wings and tail flap up and down a bit.
Also, I have nailed the wing on with 9 inch nails. Will that be enough?
Thanks

Sounds like you got a great deal on your turbines. Let's see, 4 turbines @ $3,000 ea. + model + hardware, + finishing materials all for only $10K. Where do you shop, out of curiousity?
But to answer your question, you'll notice that those two sticks are removable. They get mounted in the cockpit (one for pilot, one for co-pilot). You are using R/C pilots, correct?
Then you program the receiver to command the pilot and they move the sticks and fly the plane while you sit back, have a smoke and a beer and talk to your buddies.
