Sorry for chiming in late on this . . .

If you can contact a modeler in the Tullahoma TN area, he might be willing to drop by the Staggerwing Museum and snag a few detailed photos of :

It's a Stag in the bones - no covering anywhere, and you can see _all_ the construction details.

Very impressive wood work there.

Last time I was in the museum there were several airworthy Stags on display. I'm sure they were airworthy because they were still leaking oil.

OTOH if you're up to a bit of a drive, Tullahoma is only several hundred miles from you.
