Miles:wave:, how are you coming on your doodlebug? since you DESTROYED a UP engine to do this:curse: sign1 , you know i have to see how it turns out:D. to be honest with you, i don't know much about doodlebugs, but checked some out online, you are DEFINITELY on the right track:thumb: . i did notice those with the boxed front roof usually had a light in the middle on top;) . just checking to see the outcome:thumb: :D -Deano
