Aye, me too.  I was fiddling with the 2x2 x 2x2 bracket and just took a look
at it, and new it was meant to be a booster.

That was my other goal (seating a minifig was goal #1).  Once I accomplished
it, I needed storage, and the wings just seemed like the perfect place.  The
only downside is I had to sacrifice those nifty little wing-greeblies of yours.

Well, originally, I just plopped a 1x2 computer-ish tile on the minifig's
lap, and said he piloted it with that.  But then I didn't like the idea.  As
cool as that cockpit is, it's damned restrictive.

As a side note, Richard Marchetti did seat a minifig and give him control
consoles in his scumcraft, but at the expense of the "sleek" four-wide
midsection (his was 6).

Why, thank you kind scumlord. :-)

Dude I just saw this. SWEET! I love the little added boosters on the wings (I love the opposing angles that they create with the main engine) - the storage compartments are a *great* touch. I'm going to have to make some modifications to mine now. (...) (24 years ago, 27-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
