Why Pull-Pull?

I'm doing my favorite winter building thing, kit bashing. Kit provides the starting point and the wing ribs, etc., then you can mix and match anything else you want to try. Gives me something to...

Off in the corner at a wintertime club auction, I spotted a dusty old Sig kit for a 72" span Fairchild PT-19. I like to build, I've done a half-dozen or so Goldberg and Sig kits, and I've always...
