[simpits-tech] New Guy here! and 747 sim

Tue, 19 Nov 2002 15:11:37 -0700

Hi:
What's a good way of building the outer skin? I'm thinking of small 
fiberglass panels attached to a wooden frame. Or would building the skin up 
in layers of thin plywood? Thanks. I'm sorry for any one who is angry at any 
thing that I've said.
