Thanks for the idea, DD. Works much better. Also made the stringers heavier - 1/16 X 1/8. Will require some sanding. The balsa I get from my LHS is very good and consistent in quality, but it is soft as a slice of fresh white bread. That means my nimble fingers break a few pieces. Any ideas for getting a little harder balsa?

This is per plans, but it's really flimsy, so I went to DD's solid center piece
