Hi,
One more picture of rear framework.
Feels very strong!
Skybench recommends sheeting {covering the framework} the fuselage sides with 1/16" balsa for extra strength. The CB4 kit comes with lazer cut 1/16" sides for this. I want to keep the original open construction look and will not use them.
If you look at the Skybench website and pictures of Ray's Cloud Bound 4 construction, you can see he is not placing the fuselage side framework diagonaly like the plans. He is using a much simpler and weaker horizontal placement. With his recommended 1/16" fuse sides this would be very strong.
Cloudbound, Mike
