Many don't but I didn't see any problem with gluing it on, and it's much stronger.

This will become more of an issue when you start trying to fit and install the seats and control system, since you will only be able to access the space through the top (assuming you have installed the floor as well. Many builders opt to postpone the installation of the side sheeting as long as possible, in order to retain as much access as possible during the construction process. Bill C.

Campbell" I agree with Bill. Had I installed the plywood sides before assembly of the fuselage I would have had a bear of a time installing my rudder pedals and brake master cylinders. My fuselage was plenty strong without the plywood sides.
