On mine I didnt use the rope that came for the wings,ended up using some aluminum rods I had left over for a Super Zoom that I used CF in instead of the aluminum.Unless you were really planning on bashing,crashing it a lot I think with the thickness of the EPP on this plane the rope would of been fine too.I didnt use anything on the fuse,after looking at how thick and wide it was didnt think it would need anything.Olin
