OK - I felt brave and took the plunge. I cut into the port side since I already had it open and unplanked in order to make future control hook ups. The fuse will be strengthen up at this section, and then planked - after the blisters are installed and controls connected. I have a British Flag that will hang in one blister and the head/shoulders of another guy will be seen in the other blister. I have a small hatch at the bottom of the fuse in front of the tail wheel to access this area in the future (Larry's idea) as can be seen in one of the photos. Noah, Larry, and our north of the border builder: I thank all of you guys for your great ideas that I have used in this build. Chic
