Default Kit Bashing

Hey all,
I am building a Reese Cloud Dancer from reduced plans, 41' wing down from 98". I had a post in the aerodynamics forum about the loss of wing area whn reducing the plans, and subsequently have enlarged the chord but not the span. Then I saw Werwage's p47 in Model Aviation and changed the tail feathers and ailerons to an eliptical shape. (in process)

Next up is a Four*40 and as I prowled around the forums I saw a number of 4*s with different modifications and I thought that it is such a basic kit that just about anything could be done with it, Then I thought... what the hell... how about a kit bash thread to see what range of projects folks have done for inspiration.

I could be up for a different thread with 4*40's or 4*60's only contest just for fun. Maybe start later in the fall after flyin season. Any interest?

In any case I would love to see pics and specs for any and all kit bashed aircraft out there... post 'em here.

Thanks!
