Made a little progress today building the fuse.

Cant decide if I want to keep the ply formers after the wing. I will have to reinforce with balsa sticks anyway. However, I cant find a way yet to align the tail properly without the ply formers.
I am thinking to use the formers as the momentary jig and remove them after I glue the truss structure,



Cut some triangle stock with 3d printed tools



i fill the seams of the join with some epoxy so the plys will soak in, it was just tacked using CA. Then I glued the striangle stock with carperters glue and tack it with CA.


Some progress today. I am now thinking of best way to align the tail without proper tools The fuse now weight around 280 grams. The front part is quite sturdy and stiff.


Test fit with the wing. Its quite big but small enough for easy transport.
