Moon Pie? There's a blast from my confectionary past. Now I'm hungry....

It's about 85% closed except at the base of the canopy. You could enclose
this from the inside with interior walls on the exterior studs, but then I
suspect you would have to double hinge the canopy (perhaps by hinging the

look at it closely to see the gaps, it would likely fool a tired man running
for the bus as it stands.

Will do. I uploaded 3 pictures to the folder tonight. Actually, the dishes
come off as they are attached with technic pins....an asset for getting the
pilot organized.

Excellent! The arms would work well here I think....much like the 2001:ASO.
I was thinking of trying this with the smaller dishes for drones...could be
interesting. Look forward to seeing them!
