I did not stop the floor board aft of the seat but I did cut large lightening holesin it. Left about 2" of plywood on either side of the diagonals and sidelongerons . No other major things other than vigilant attention to not overdoingglue joints with excessive glue. Also use spruce in the tail if at all possibleinstead of fir or poplar. remember... if you save a pound in the tailit'll keep you from having to add 3 in the noseDJ ----- Original Message -----
