You're welcome! A lot of times, if you purchase the less expensive Egyptian-made wings, they have gawd-awful dark gray pvc pipe or less awful but still not ideal wooden dowels for the "sticks." The pvc is absolutely stiff, fat, and awkward, and both that and wooden dowels are inflexible, and I recommend that you swap it out for the blind turners or the acrylic rod. The smooth round acrylic rod in 1/4" diameter is the perfect material - it comes in 6' lengths, so you can go in on this purchase with a friend if you can find a supplier. The rod itself is generally around $10, maybe less.
