My only tip would be try to leave some negative space in FRONT of the aircraft so it creates a sense of motion taht its traveling from left of frame to right.

I 've always wondered what the thick cable is that runs from the tail to the cockpit is?
Does it have to do with controlling the tail. Or is it stability??

The antenna is for the ADF in the aircraft, used for homing and tracking to an NDB. Used less and less, old technology.
