Rob,

The plywood sheets were slightly under a meter, spanwise. Each one covers three rib bays.

The centre section was covered first and so the next sheet outboard overlaps the first and so on.

The bottom pannels were done the same way but the nose piece is separate and is butt joined to the main sheets down the center line of the front spar, top and bottom, these nose pieces are staggared slightly (one rib bay) from the main sheets.

Wood grain is chordwise.
