thanks for the input. At times it feels like I'm starting over. Things have changed so much since the last time I've built a plane.
Tonight I fabricated an 1/8" ply former to epoxy to the front of the tailwheel mounting rail. It will serve as the front edge support for the gear doors. I figured it's a lot easier to do it now that after it's sheeted. While I was looking at it and dreading trying to glue bottom sheeting on I decided to add 4 extra 1/4sq. stringers.
Just seems like it will keep the shape better and allow me to wrap and glue the sheeting in smaller steps. 4 extra lightweight stringers won't add much weight and I think it will be worth it. The stringers aren't glued or cut to length in the picture so it looks kind of funky but I'm happy with it.
