Wow, don't know why those came out so large. Good detail though! [8D]

Now make and install the side sheeting pieces from the firewall to the turtle deck. Lay in a 1/8" piece of balsa at the face of the turtle deck so you have something to glue to. I use a combination of CA and wood glue for this.

When everything is dry, install the remaining stringers from the firewall to F2. using a long sanding block, gently sand this curve so your sheeting will lay down nice and flat.

Now comes the nasty part....stick sheeting.

Cut 8" strips of 1/8" balsa, about 1/4" wide.

This is an excersise in patience and persistance.

What I do is mix up some slow cure epoxy and dab it on the firewall.

Using a long flat sanding block, gently sand a slight angle into the strips lengthswise where they will be glued to each other. You'll have to practice this a little if you've never done it, but once you get the hang of it, it's a piece of cake.

Use wood glue to attach the strips to each other, laying them on the epoxy at the firewall, and CA to bond them to the stringers and formers. Sounds complicated, but it isn't once you actually get into doing it.

When you get a little over halfway to the top on both sides, you'll have to start tapering the strips slightly so you don't havea large "V" gap when they meet up.

just keep plugging along, and frequently reach inside and wipe up the excess glue on the underside with a paper towel. Do it in stages if you have to. take your time.

Alternatively, you can wet a piece of 1/8" and form it....but on this particular application, I didn't have much luck with it, so I kept doing it this way.
