First dry fit of side battens

Marked out the positions of the side battens tonight and clamped the battens to the frames. The instructions call for the battens to be equally spaced at each frame. I was a bit concerned that the battens wouldn't easily follow those lines, but they did and without force.

From doing this I can see a little bit more fairing is required on some of the frames towards the aft.

It also shows a minor flat spot at around frame 4. I think this is yet another consequence of frame 3 being off centre. I don't think it will take much to deal with it.
