Stringers

The aesthetic shape and body lines of the aircraft are important. The Bearhawk 4 had a slight hunchback shape to it, which is easily corrected by changing the height of the stringer posts on top of the fuselage.

I ran a long piece of paracord from the stringer receiver at the base of the vertical stabilizer forward to the new skylight aft crossbar to establish a waterline, then I cut off the existing stringer posts to match.
