How to make the Amelia Earhart plane look like its flying?

[jonwil]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how (using clear parts to build up a stand or something) I can make the Amelia Earhart plane look like its flying? If I just mount parts where the black stand in the official set is, it doesn't work since the rear of the plane will pull any tower over.

Ideas appreciated please, I want to have it flying over my New York scene in the way the same plane does at the end of Night at the Museum 2 but I can't find a way to make it stay up...

I would recommend hanging it from the ceiling.

At the end of Huw's official Brickset review of the set, he makes what he sees to be a better stand (which I agree with wholeheartedly).  It certainly gives the impression it's flying.  Or, conversely, you could try using these if you want the transparency:

You probably can't hang it unless you've got accessible rafters in your ceiling, or are prepared to drill loads of holes to fit hooks in a possibly perfect ceiling.  If you do chose this path, there's some good invisible thread out there....

Something with these in trans clear and some kind of build to attach them could work.
