I'm an electrical engineer (avionics actually). So don't take my mechanical/structural advice too seriously. It might just be flawed.
c'mon Daniel keep at it mate, want to see this big mother finished!

Anyone who jumps out of a perfectly good airplane is a few bricks shy
of a load.

Yeah, but Charles, have you seen the way 'Crab Air' fly!?
But, then again, I DID continue with it as a sport, so maybe I am nuts, and maybe that's why I'm now knackered !!!

Nothing new Daniel I'm afraid.Russians made fuselages of their planes in the same way.So the method and material for covering is really good.
What Wojtek said. If it's good enough for the real thing, it'll be good enough for yours!

You have spare strips of pine!?!
I say bring it on and monocoque that beauty. If you can skin her with strips of pine, I'm even more impressed with your already extraodinary build, 109.
And I'm sorry for having said anything. I'm truly impressed with your skills. Honestly, I am.

Hi
Just Joined the forum and spotted your thread. What a great build! If you want to have a look at something to skin with, go to the local newspaper printer and check out some Lithoplate, it's aluminium,thin easy to shape and can be polished to a mirror finish. Best part is the printers usually throw it away when their finished with it. A lot of RC modellers use it to skin scale aircraft because you can score it and make it look like it has rivets as well for panels.
Just a thought but hope it helps
Cheers from OZ

Ooops should have said recycled not throw away...
