Default RE: Guillow's B-17G Kit Build

After a very long week of work, Ifinally was able to get some building in (and post about it!) Ifinished cutting out the fuselage bulkheads, trimmed out the stringer notches and then sanded them all down. Ithen glued them in place and have gotten the fuselage framed up. Ihaven't gotten the stringers on yet, but Imight get to that later tonight. So far at 1.5 oz.

Afriend was cleaning out some smaller electrics, and decided to make a donation to my build. He gave me two scorpion 2208-32 motors, two no-name similar motors, and two 10 amp speed controls. Not a bad freebe! Woohooo! Abit more muscle that is necessary, but it will work for sure!

Ihave been thining about the retracts more and more, and as much as Iwant them in, unless Ifind someone who has done this and can tell me exactly what retracts they put in, and how well it worked (ie would you do it again?) I think Imight forgo them. It is sad, but we'll see...

Anyways, here are some pics of the bulkheads, first half of the fuse, and the full framed fuse.
