[HR][/HR] Did a quick alignment of the ply wing saddle pieces and the formers. Cut out clearance for the flap linkage. Epoxied the F2A ply piece to the F13 ply firewall. Will epoxy the firewall in when it's dry. Instructions have you do it in reverse. I thought it would be easier to put it in as an assembly.

NOTE: I had moved my firewall back 1/8" and had to cut 1/8" off the leading edge of the ply wing saddles. Also, because of the thrust built into the firewall, one side needs about 1/16" more off than the other to keep all straight. Use the other fuse formers installed in the fuse top to square it all off.




Clearance cut in F6B for the flap linkage


Just a mock up (not glued) of all the lower structure. Waiting for the fire wall to dry so I can install it.
