| The guys at the VA are in the minor leagues when it comes to OCD (or being anal retentive): The picture is from Jim Landoni of Denver, and is one of many that document his build of a 1/16 JN-4. You can ind it on Flickr under the "great Landoni" |

| BiPlane Guy; If you want a Scientific Wild Ass Guess:I would say that is a cover for the fuel tank hold-down. Look at the picutre and you will see the two brackets on the centerline of the wing that correspond to the shape on your model. Looking at other PT-17 pictures shows that there are thru-bolts through the U-channel to retain the tank. I think. |

| Well, after about 9600 "stiches" and over 200 surface tapes, (but who's counting), I believe that I can move on. |

| Biplane Guy, I 've been down the slope for decades (Used to be a plastic modeler). Example here ( a week of my life that I'll never get back) is of the rigging clevises for my Loening. Each clevis took 9 separate operations and three jigs to make. But it's FUN!!! |
