Bottom Stringer Model IV

[t j]

The belly stringer should terminate at the trailing edge of the lift strut carry through tube. It is epoxied to the tube just like yours is. I would taper the bottom of the end back a couple inches so the fabric will transition to the flat underside of the cabin floor.

I have no idea what the idea was to install that stringer V forward of the lift strut carry through tube.

Thanks Tom
I will terminate my stringer at the cross tube .
The only advantage I could see with the stringer
Going that far FWD .it would cut down on the
Amount of reinforcement tape ,required for the
Bottom of the FWD fuselage.

Mine also terminated at the lift strut tube.
