Tom, thanks for the pics. I figured that was the way to go but was not sure how it looked, etc. I was going to sand down the point where the joint is on the side stringers so it is not so prominent. Your pic looks like you did the same. I was also thinking that I would add some vertical balsa filler at the the fuse joint for fabric attachment. This looks like a good place to seam the covering. Then I can cover the nose back to the end of the cockpit with one piece and cover the aft sections separately. How did you do your seaming?
