Looks good! You might want to consider getting you hatch supports located before you skin it. It makes it a lot easier if you can reach/see right through while you're doing it.

Nice job! :applause:

What kind of height are your spars? About the same as a piece of planed 2" x 1"???

I'm designing a build and it's that constant trade off between strength and weight which I find the biggest challenge...

thanks

That's right Mal, that way they are flush with the cross ribs.

Hatch Support

I'm further along with my hatch build today and just got my supports on...they came today and were $9 a piece. I used the "star wheel" supports they work great and were easy to fit.
