RE: SIMLA BUILD THREAD
Bill,
I guess it comes down to personal preference and what works for you. Everyone has their own favorite building techniques and I've never yet built a model designed by someone else where I haven't changed something.
For example, I notice the Simla does not have spar webs, something I always use in built up wings even when they are completely sheeted. The Simla as designed is obviously completely satisfactory but if I built one I would put them in.
Following your build with interest.
