anyways, I don't have my vintage one I built 20+ years ago to go by, so was wondering if anyone has any advise, tips, tricks, etc.

also if anyone can comment on what parts,exactly, can be used from the outlander - that would help me trying to match each one up to the files, etc - such as, the legs and such was mentioned as ok, are the foot pads right ? ( except something about being too thick ? ) .

what about the internal (hinge mount point) rings ?

actually the nosecone looks like it might work and look ok, but I'll be getting one from BMS just to keep the ' right feeling' to it, lol ...

and will certainly switch to elastic or similar instead of rubberbands, but any other mods appreciated / cionsidered.
