Starting on the hatch , cutting the ribs now that im happy with the radius
only rough cut for now will trim and sand in pairs so they match both sides
these will be spaced apart then some high density foam cut and inserted between them and shaped

Much better now the nose of the canopy is round . I love it.

What are the approximate dimensions of this hull & Its approximate finished hull weight? It looks like the cowling would be well suited to a rear exhaust engine. How about some photos of the sponson bottoms?

You should have at least a whole bottle of Ibuprofen in this project at this point...Nice job. I love to see original stuff being made from scratch.
