[QUOTE="Shaugh, post: 474667, member: 19781"] If you've done something like it then you probably already know more than me. At one time I was thinking about doing it in aluminum to repair a damaged boat and I remembered when I had it all taken apart. When I laid the actual top sheet on the boat flat it overhung the edges like this: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Untitled.png"]105898._xfImport[/ATTACH] nothing overhanging until it was well down the side then only about 1.5" extra by the back edge. It seems that would be the easiest method... just make that slightly flared pattern and attach it first.. then make stringers to fit... wouldn't that be easier than trying to estimate the various rates of curvature on stringers first ? Anyway that was what I thought about when I considered how you'd to do it. That would give you the most natural curve rather than forcing the skin over what you estimated to be the correct curve...
