I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

As your talented eyes can see, the sheet will conform to the leading edge. There must be a seam , however. Methinks just under the edge.

John, check out this website. It has a real nice 3-view of the Tri Motor in pretty hi-res. It may help you to decide where the panels need to go.

The site didn't link up. Here is the main page. http://www.umt.fme.vutbr.cz/~ruja/modely/podklady.htm Scroll down and you'll find the plane plan you need.

Wood preservative zephyr....Thanks for the site, but at this stage the photos are not helpful. Just when you think you have enough reference phots new ones appear!

What you've done here is the right way, in fact. The sheet on the underside has to be angled off slightly for the corrugations to nest at the trailing edge. This way you keep your corrugations vertical, or nrarly so, only tipped in a little per the dihedral. If I can find this stock in the "scale" I need, this will be the way to finish !
