 "Cloudster" Construction Project Session #68

Speed 400 Cloudster Project
As was stated earlier, the oval shaped bulkheads shown below are an extension of the oval shape of the bottom forward planking. The covering will stretch tight in a straight line across each stringer and cause the edges of the oval bulkheads to stick out under the covering. The oval bulkheads need to be sanded down to form either a straight line between stringers or recessed concave between stringers so as not to touch the covering material at all.
 
I decided in favor of the recess concave approach, so I took this task on the first thing this morning. It took me took approximately two hours to carefully trim and sand concave recesses on all 32 of the bulkhead edges between the stringers as shown below......................Tandy
