Well I made some good progress this morning on the tail section, former # 20 had to be put in place before the center stringers can be run.

This all went very well , but this next bit not so well.

And # B6A has to be in place as well this is where the wind shield will taper to; BUT again it doesn't look right?

The height is correct but of course the notch for the stringer isn't, and this is where I'll have to steam/ wet the spruce stringer to twist and bend the curve.

This is where it would be great to see what Martin has done if he's gotten this far?

At first I thought this former was maybe at an angle but that's not how it drawn it stands at a 90 degree from the longerongs and the height is correct.

I'M TAKING A BREAK AND LOOKING OVER THE DRAWINGS AND PHOTOS OF THE SCALE PLANE to see if I can figure it out.

Have a look at the photos maybe one of you guys will see something I've missed?
