How perfect? Not very!

This reminds me of something that happened many years ago. I had acquired an old kit one day that I sent to my son who lived with his mom 1000 miles away. He was about 7 yrs old at the time, and had never built a model before. To make matters worse, this kit was designed before the modern building techniques of todays kits. When he came up for his summer vacation, he had the crookedest looking plane I had ever seen!

When he glued the two fuse sides together, he did it with one side laying flat on the table, so the fuse looked like the picture below. The kit was called the "Cricket", but after seeing his completed plane, we dubbed it the "Crooket"

The wing was warped so badly that it just couldn't be used. But he was so proud of his plane that he really wanted to fly it. So I dusted off a wing from an old glider that was sitting in the basement, and we rubber-banded it to the crooked fuselage and headed for the field.

To make a long story short, the "Crooket" flew just fine, and we got many flights on it that summer!
