You don't say which profile fuselage you are working on.   My self I have inlayed hardwood peices the length of the fuselage above and below the wing.   Then put silkspan and dope on.   A profile will never be as stiff as a built up fuse.   The Brodak profiles I have built have been adequate for my granddaughter and my flying.  She broken a few wing but not a fuselage.

John I have 2 Cardinals for later on when I can actually fly better. I have some twisters that I will be building first and the fuselages that are in the kits are not perfectly straight.

Ron,

Call Sig and let them know the fuselages are warped and they will send out new one. They did this for me on the last twister I built.
