rang fish (study)

While wrangling 'rangs recently I saw several strewn on the table and thought that arranging them like ribs would be interesting. We talked about how they could be mounted and decided on two ways: Nose Up and Nose Right.

Nose Up would have two lines, tieing the wing tips together on each side so the whole thing would wiggle in one plane, like an earthworm. But it'll take a lot of breeze to do, as each higher rang bears the weight of all below it.

Nose Right would have one line to each rang. Each line could come down to the upper tip, or perhaps about half way down the tip, depending on how big of a circle we want to see when the rang spins. To keep the rangs from spinning into each other, a very thin line can be run across either the top or bottom row of tips.

Now all we have to do is find the appropriate space to hang it...
