Hauled out a damaged and semi-complete kit the other day. It has one of the typical rectangular box type fuselages. Not quite a trainer, but no imagination either. Several of the fuselage bulkhead formers are smashed and others are poor. Thus I have to make a few new ones.

Have been thinking to add some "roundness" or style to the old box. Would like to arc the sides of the fuselage some, and add a bit of bend to those otherwise vertical surfaces.

In the real world this would mean something, but in the small aero world how much would this change the agility of the finished model? We are talking of a cheapie high wing 1/2A sized A/C with about 4" tall sides.
