With the 1/16" birch ply in place and epoxied, Former (F-1) is glued in place making sure that it is dead nuts square.

Note- 30 minute epoxy is used in areas indicated. When I use the term "glued", I am referring to Titebond ll being used.




For comparison sake, the right and left fuselage panels are shown. The void in the bottom panel is filled using the same ply removed from the laser cutting sheet.




The plug fits perfectly.




The birch panel it cut and fit into position, now it's time to mix-up some epoxy.




Heavy flat weights are placed on top to ensure good contact between each epoxied panel. Just have to wait for the epoxy to cure...
