| Clipped off the excess wires. Had to carefully look at the photos. The three turnbuckles on each side are lumped together. Two each side for the rudder and one for the steerable tail skid. I'll add the foot straps |

| This is for Rayl. My first display stand for the PT-17 was slightly modified as a refrigerator. Making use of small space. |

| Here's the (semi) finished turnbuckle being held by hand to help lend itself to the scale desired. I'll be using the open end to wire to the rudder bar. I could also twist the open end to form a closed turnbuckle. I borrowed this idea from one of the many modeling techniques shown on YouTube. |

| Taking one needle nose pliers and carefully clasping it at the end of the small tube, so as to not crush it, I then used the other needle nose pliers to help pull the tube such that the wired loop closed down to a more realistic scale. This is one end of the "turnbuckle." I'll be using the other end to fasten to the rudder bar |
