Oh, you would want to group the wing, engine and the laser cannon first anyway.
Then duplicate...
And then move the group up or down to whatever position is fitting.
---
If you have grouped a set of objects, this group is selected this way;
1) Klick on one of the objets you know are in the group.
2) Press the up-arrow on the keyboard to select the (first) group setting.
If that group is a part of a bigger group, press up-arrow again to select the bigger group.
I do not support Bush! Nor Saddam! Long live UN!
