Are you clamping all the curved balsa skins with clothespins? They don't seem like they'd be strong enough, especially with 1/16" balsa; I'm assuming you used 1/16" for the rest of it, and not just the NC, correct?
It definitely needs some pretty generously sized ventrals to help balance out the flared area in the front. Maybe a shape that was pointed at both ends and connected to the body in the middle, sort of like the barbs on razor wire, but curvier and more organic-looking? Maybe have a little more area at the front than the back, or vice versa...
Clear as mud? :blush: Whatever you decide on, I'm prepared to be amazed!
