After going thru the process to this point…is there anything you would do differently in the female jig/foam strips fabrication to further minimize the un-fairness of the foam hulls?
Would you reduce the distance between frames as John Lindahl did with the LR2/LR3 A cat? Did you have excessive deflection of the foam when glassing the inner surface that caused it to be unfair?

Would you spend more time fairing out the female frames themselves? Trying to get even fairer jig by adding and filling as dictated by an appropriate batten rather than going strictly to the stations as plotted by a computer generated template?

Your insight would be appreciated as I am building an F14 cat using basically the same process and I haven’t started the actual foam strips yet. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,
