Putting the sides on is a bit of a chore as they extend all the way up to the nose ring which gets into some serious compound curves. One note is that sub 6 pound per cubic foot balsa forms very nice, almost to nice. If you wet it, and then throw it on the formers, it with ripple between the formers (lesson learned on the first build!). The sides bend enough while dry, but it is a pain to glue and tack everything down at the same time with the sides attempting to spring back flat. My solution was to dry fit everything, running tape around the nose to hold it in place. I then misted the front section with water, taking care not to soak the wood. Once it was dry, I removed the sides leaving a near perfect curve in the wood, and no rippling. Now all that is left is to put glue on everthing and clamp it all in place.
