I don't understand the thread title, "Not a TearDrop". Looks like a great Tear to me. :?

Wow, It looks great. I have a bunch of questions though. What is the benefit behind using all the spars? How do you get inside it? And if its not a Teardrop what is it?

That's a lot of spars. Are you going to have a substrate? Like plywood or masonite maybe?
