Default Modelbau MB339 buildout

As many of you have seen there is a thread on the Modelbau MB339. It has lots of good information but I thought I would do a separate thread and chronicle my build. I have found many things that need attention so far on this little jet but I am convinced that she will be a good little everyday flyer when I am finished that I am determined to get it straightened out.

The very first thing I did was to clean up the glass work and removed excess material. Pic #1 shows me about to crop the aft wing opening area.

Pic #2 shows the front wing saddle bulkhead after I cleaned it up as well. Nice uniform radius of the glass looks much better.

Pic #3 shows the 1/8 inch ply doubler I made to laminate to the factory installed bulkhead. I will also make a 1/4 ply doubler to laminate to the rear of the same bulkhead. This will make the bulkhead 5/8 in thick....no way this will fail in flight!

Stay tuned, more to follow....
