Default Ever hear of a Sig Cessna 170 ?

The plans say "SIG". There is something funny going on around the tail. Towards the tail of the plane, it looks as though the top view and side view are not aligned with each other. But towards the nose, it appears that they are.
That really doesn't bother me. I've worked "off the map" before. What does bother me is this: There are dowels in the fuselage for attaching the wing with rubber bands. And the dowels are below the windows. P.U. Looks like everything around the cabin is balsa, no ply . I'll probably change that a little and try to use wing bolts and a dowel up front.... Maybe.
The wood looks like new and the die cutting is sharp. The decals look like they were printed yesterday. There isn't an instruction book. But there are instructions printed right on the plans. They are here and there in little clusters. I have Berkeley Navion that is the same way.
