Normand, Try running the thread through the hair 2 or 3 wraps from back to front. Then build your thread lump in front to post the wing upright. That is how I do it anyway. If it matters at all Fran Betters Haystack wings do not fan a full 180 degrees. They are more like a full V as you have described. I have 3 or 4 of his Haystacks and the wings are all like this and quite full.

By the way,I have not forgotten about your BB's. I am getting there.
