Bernard;
On my model I wanted to retain the appearance of the original so I kept the "large" launch lug. But to make it compatible with our 1/8" launch rods I just glued a short piece of 1/8" LL inside the big one. Perfectly functional and perfectly disguised.
And yes, I would say that was quite a brilliant and practical suggestion on the part of your wife. They do seem to have this way of seeing problems differently than us!
