Congratulations on your Pup's maiden! It looks really nice in the air...despite the ghost pilot. Of course with the BUSA Pup (and a few others) technically no rigging is needed since the wings are designed to support the load (with the thick leading edge, double spars, and spar webs). The Flair Puppeteer is the same way. Still, I think the sturdy functional rigging (music wires) on my Puppeteer saved its bacon on several crashes into the trees...not to mention a few "less than perfect" landings.

Jack, I didn't mean to imply that your N28 was "just OK." It's fantastic! Rather I meant that it's OK that kits, even the ones from Proctor, GTM, and MR, aren't perfect. They just can't be. It's in the nature of kits.

Merlin, here's a bit of photo editing on you Pup shot. Lets us see more of your great model! BTW, it looks like you've done some scale mods on it.
