Thanks everyone for your advise and recommendations.

RBC - really appreciate the link to the "wing burner" how to.

AlanB - your recommendation to try popcicle sticks is a good one too and certainly of value given that this wing style is one I'll use fairly infrequently. Plus it opens the door for lots of low cost tests of various versions.

Greg H - I also like your suggestion to try the high quality clippers to fabricate the wings.

Thanks all for the info. I've got something that helps me get to where I want to go with this pattern and I appreciate it!
