Gary,

>>Jon, looks like your belly pan is coming along nicely. Did you use one piece stringers and notch the formers? That's what I plan on doind for my next belly pan. I think it will simplify construction and provide a little more support.<<

I notched the center former and used one-piece stringers. I butted them up on the ends. I'm had trouble getting the side edges bent down enough to match up well with the sides of the fuse. I cracked the balsa sheeting and mended it with CA. The edges just aren't gong to match up too well on this attempt.

Nice day for flying here yesterday so I went to the field. I'm enjoying my UltraStick with the O.S. 61 on it. It will climb verical as long as I want.

No building tonight, as I have the mother of all colds.
