I just bought a Crusader on ebay and it is on it's way. I do have a few questions:
1. I plan to display it suspended from the ceiling in an inverted position, bay doors open. Do the doors lock open or will they need to be secured another way?
2. What is the umbilical made of and is it still considered a requirement for the ship to be complete? I have no intent to by one as they are comically expensive and not really functional considering I can get some 10 gauge solid core wire that will do the job for a couple bucks. I look at it along the lines of o-rings, black horses, and string. It's just a losing battle as the material breaks down over time.
3. I'm looking for a booster from Defiant to go with it. How sturdy is the booster in space station configuration ( assuming good condition) and could it safely dock with the shuttle if both were suspended in the air so that each has it's full weight on it's own suspension rig? Thanks for any advice. Very excited about my new piece.
1. The bay doors don't "lock" open, but they are pretty stiff in their operation. They should stay in place just fine.
2. The umbilical is heavy wire with sheathing. I wouldn't consider the shuttle "complete" without. What I mean is, if I bought a listing that said it was "complete" then I would expect to see the umbilical. It's not a box or a file card, it's an accessory so its absence makes the unit technically incomplete. That said, it's just wire. Go buy the hardware store's wire and move on with your life. I have the original umbilical with mine and it's not anything special to behold.
3. No idea, I've never owned any part of a Defiant.
