LIke Steve, I stuck with the stock 1/16" stringers. You can also see that I experimented with some different glues. I used Titebond III wood glue for the keels. I'm sure it's strong, but it was pretty messy. Switched to Testor's wood glue, especially for the planks, per DD's advice.

The word "tedious" just doesn't seem to do it justice...

Wings are framed up, too. All according to plan so far, but I'm sure I'll add a few more stringers and maybe do a little planking. Will carve solid wing tips, too.
