Default RE: Lightning Build

I have finally cleared out a mountain of blue painter's tape in my garage to reveal a 99% complete fuselage. The only steps remaining are to install the wing and stab sockets, and then sand to final shape. Also, I left the sheeting off of the bottom of the subfin area to allow access to the stab socket. Once the socket is glued in, that area will be sheeted. Right now, the fuselage weighs in at 20.8 oz. For comparison, the prototype weighed 28 oz at the same stage. Now, on to wings and stab.
