I'm in the process of finishing one up for a customer. The stabs are on tight, but I agree w/ geistware that the setup doesn't seem durable, so I locktited the screws in and will recommend that the customer NOT remove the stabs.

If it were my personal bird, I would just epoxy the whole mess in and deal w/ the transportation problems. After all, that's why Gd made trucks and vans for, right??
