Alex, is the balsa you used on the top, curved parts of the fuselage the same thickness as the flat sides? If not, how thick is that balsa compared to the sides...

Hi Mark,

Initially i used 1.5 mm balsa for all areas. Anyway, i recently stripped all the balsa sheeting and re-covered the whole fuselage. Flat sides are still 1.5mm, but this time i used 2mm balsa for planking the curved areas to compensate for the final sanding.
