: It is my belief that Matt and Cam are heavily influenced by the aesthetics of
: not having hatches. They prefer the pure, clean surface. You can't have
: that with bulkheads because then you have to have hatches.

What makes you think Ted was talking about Mariner? ;) ;)

: A third option is
: to go to you local model shop and get the strips of balsa wood that are
: triangular in cross section. Put these at the bulkhead/hull corner and
: then glass over. Voila, big fat fillets.

GREAT idea!!! I've never heard of that, but it sounds like a great way to get a lightweight, yet bomber fillet.
