Well I see the word is out that I have not followed all of the posts. I started following the thread wishing I had the photos of my 1/4 Pup that I sold last year. I was so excited to find them that I just posted the pictures without catching up on all of the posts. As for my 1/4 scale, I left it assembled and carried it in the trailer with no problems. My buddy who built it for me also built one for himself and it is a true pain to assemble. He swears it would be much easier to put the 1/3 scale together. I do not get the magizine so I am not familar with the article, but it seems to make sense to me.
