It took a second look before I noticed the Patarero. Prepare to repel all boarders!! You’re new flying wires look good too.:)

You've got good eyes. Flying wires are on the BOTTOM of the wing. My landing wires are original. :-)

The gun is a replica of an 18th century "swivel gun," a small cannon that could be clamped to rails of a ship or gunnels of a boat. It's almost all wood, started life as a balluster on a stairway rail. Barrel is only drilled ~6", can't load or fire (though can be used to launch bottle rockets).

Damn, dude..."Patarero." Wasn't familiar with that term. Ain't many nautical terms I miss.
