Default RE: Proctor Mini Anti-Bipe (with mods) Build Thread

In my quest to stylize my Antic with some features of the Jenny, I checked out the Jenny on display at the Smithsonian Air and Space museum in DC. The nice thing about the Jenny that's on display is that it is cleaned up but not totally reconditioined. There were also some great Fokkers on display as well and the earlier models really resemble the stock Antic mono plane. One interesting observation a friend made was that the open fuse was typically used in the early years, but once biplanes were being developed the fuse was typically covered. This helps support my proposed mod of adding a turtle deck and covering the fuse, like it is in the Jenny.

The pictures don't do it justice but they will help me with the mods.
