| Please make changes to the following inventory:
* Change 1 Part Yellow 40490 Technic, Liftarm 1 x 9 Thick {Regular to Extra}
* Change {13 to 11} Part Black 2780 Technic, Pin with Friction Ridges Lengthwise WITH Center Slots
* Change {1 to 3} Part Black 2780 Technic, Pin with Friction Ridges Lengthwise WITH Center Slots (Extra)
Comments from Submitter:
These three parts are not actually part of the finished model--they form a temporary brace to align the engine pods before attaching them to the fuselage. However, it is not clear to me if they meet the definition of an extra (www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562): they ARE NOT part of the model, but they ARE a part of the build process. I just finished building this set and thought I'd put this out there to see what the admins and other members think. My opinion is that they ought to be listed as extras.

| Here's the appropriate page from the instructions: step 18 shows the brace
being added and step 19 shows it being removed (this happens again for the other
pod too). I've never seen anything quite like this before in LEGO instructions,
it was an interesting find!

I've seen these sorts of things before. In this set:
There are two Green 1 x 4 plates that are needed to keep the model level during
much of the build, until the wheels are added (see image). They are listed in
the instructions inventory, are part of the total piece count and therefore should
be listed in the Regular section.
When a buyer purchases a "complete" set on BrickLink, all pieces shown in the
instructions should be included.
