RE: Puppeteer to Strutter conversion
A more extensive modification, BTW, would be to split the wings in half and then build them so that each side wing cellule could be transported fully rigged. The top wing halves would attach to the central cabane struts with the 1/2 strut attached at the field. The bottom wing would plug into fixed wing roots on the fuse. this is, in fact, what was done with the original when being transported on ships. Temporary X struts were inserted to hold the wings in position.
I know that Donnie has done this with several of his models.
