Default RE: Scratch Designed/Built Sailplane Fuselage

Thanks, yeap good to still be here *smile*

Hairy sticky mess
Ahh how we love working with fiber-glass. Here's a second layer of 2oz glass ready for the epoxy. I'm using 3M contact spray to tack it in place, makes life a lot easier...



After a little more glassing & maybe some triangle stock, I'm planning to add balsa fairings either side of the pylon to hide all this ugliness. Before I can do that I need to attach the pylon to the pod...



Yeap that's one unusual looking fuselage, I'm liking it...



I also glued the tail-boom on there, no turning back now...



I used slow set epoxy for most of today's assembly so I'm going to let this setup good & solid. That's a wrap for today.
