Thanks - I'm pleased you liked it.
Yes, it is strong enough to be picked up with one hand (though it does sag a
bit). The long beam is made of interlocking 1 x 16 bricks with 2 x 16 plates
on top and bottom, and is quite sturdy. The weakest point is where it
connects to the cockpit section.
I drove this model to a BayLUG meeting a few weeks ago, and the engines both
fell apart from the vibration. I guess that's where the real weakness is.
