Wow, it would have been so much easier to just follow the directions!!
Where's the fun in that! I swore up and down that I'd build my Flair Legionaire completely stock right down to the very last bit of kit-provided hardware. Well that promise didn't last long. I've added scale pull-pulls on rudder and elevator and that necessitated cut-outs in the stab, exit points on the fuse and an internal bracket for the dual elevator cables. And then I cut out the stock firewall to mount my Saito 56 correctly, trashed their music wire gear for custom silver soldered sprung gear, upgraded all the attachment points to hinges, beefed up the lower wing to prevent torsion, and added hatched in two spots on the underside of the fuse. Oh and you can bet that that simple music wire tail skid isn't going to make it onto my model.

With the Puppeteer kit I bought over the summer I've already drawn up plans to kit bash it into a 1 1/2 Strutter.
