i appreciate your input. as for the cross bracing there is brackets for this, i guess you cant see them and this is a proctor plan the warping system is theres, aside from the cockpit detail i'm building this plane according to there plans, exactly. proctor has been selling this plane for 30 some odd years so it must work. so i'm not really thinking outside the box just scratch building there kit and just modifying the cockpit. ive posted some pics of the protor plans, rigging and pulley system.
