Eric..
I have no problems with you jumping in with as much input as you seem fit. I think it's great to be finding out all this info.. Do you have a diagram or photo on how you think the rigging would be on this? Believe me, you would have to try a lot harder to be a nuisance..
.. I'm already having a lot of fun with this, and I haven't cut out anything. And here I thought this was going to be a "simple" little parasol fighter....
Cheers..
