Got the sides of the fuse joined along with the nose block. Finally managed to get the alignment down for the engine supports. Worked on that for a couple hours. I am modifiying the nose ring rather than using the one that came with the short kit. I prefer to have a circle for the opening, this one is like a rect. race track. I think it will work fine.
I also have the aileron servo and retract installation complete for the right wing. I cut channels for servo lead and air line. I will cover the channels with a balsa stick but leave room on the bottom side to allow for installation or removal. I also had some dings in the foam and some ripples due to a somewhat shakey cut with the wire. I wanted to see if I could fill those voids with spackle (OneTime) prior to epoxying the skins and make sure the bond was positive. I took a scrap piece of foam, laid on a coat of spackle, sanded and spread a thin coat of 30 min. Z-Poxy and applied a piece of balsa sheet. I tried to pull the skin loose, you can see the results in the pic. Next chore, work on the other wing and add the chin block.
