RE: Mojo 40 Build Thread
Fuse went easily. Photo #1 shows final. I have taped a scrap piece on the front to keep the top and bottom aligned and not stress the rudder post on the back. You can just see the landing gear ply. I used two 2-56 blind nuts and gorilla glued the ply into the balsa.
For the first curved piece on the bottom, I cut a scarf cut instead of the butt on the plans. I also used the left over carbon tape and left over 1/8" basswood to splice over the joint from the inside and glued with epoxy (photo #2). Photo #3 shows some additional 1/8" basswood used on some other joints.
Photo #4 shows how I will carry the plane. I will hold with thumb and index finger over the built up area (built using extra 3/8" stock).
Photo #5 shows where I pinned the front joint on the top portion. Gorilla glue used here.
Rudder is Photo #6. I added a cross-brace on the bottom section. I have not decided if I should cross-brace the rest of the bays too.
