Shortly after starting my project I had an opportunity to visit Gene
Krantz (Apollo 13 etc.) and his project at the time.  It was a welded
tube, fabric covered, open cockpit, biplane. There were these cardboard
tags with the strings attatched (from a business supply store) hanging
everywhere from the plane and all over his shop.  He explained that on
the space shuttle during its recycling for the next launch, they label
everything left undone with a tag and an explination.  My plane now has
them everywhere with notations like: "Bolts not tight." or,  "Do over!"
