ORIGINAL: petera38

Some small detail, which had me think...was the two spruce stringers separating the hatch. My spruce stringers were way too stiff and I was afraid that they would lead to warpage of the hatch..so I solved it by splitting it in two and gluing it together with 20 min epoxy while clamping it in place. I had to do this operation 4 times .... and ended it up with ''pre-bent'' stringers.

Hope you get well soon

Here is a question from a novice builder; why is there called for spruce stringers. The fuse is to be planked with 3mm balsa and then glass & epoxy, so would it not be strong enough with balsa stringers ?
