RE: DC-3/C-47 question
Mark,
I would do what you said. As you terminate the stringers at the back, you can scab in some scrap wood to the wrong former and finish sand to the correct contour using the TLAR method. (That Looks About Right) If I run into that problem I'll correct my plans since I'm sure I'll build another one of these much later in retirement too. Also have to make templates for the additional nacell formers.
