| With extra stringers and balsa sheeting as strength I cut out the wings that intruded into the cockpit so a full cockpit can be installed. |

| Curious question: You are sheeting it...then what is the purpose of EXTRA stringers/spars???? |

| What i've discovered when you sheet the a with 1/32 balsa, if you don't have enough stringers your stringers will show through the sheeting which will make your model look very blocky. |

| sorry i meant to say sheet the MODEL with 1/32 |

| Since it is my first sheeted model, I added extra stringers for strength and a base for the sheeting, but I can certainly understand what Logan Patterson is talking about. Almost 50 years ago I sheeted (the only time) a Guillows Zero (bellieve they are still mfr it after 50 years?)with no extra stringers; the 1/32 sheet sunk slightly between stringers giving an unsatisfactory look to the aircraft's look. |
