Default RE: Another TF P-47 Build

Looking good so far right? RIGHT? o.k so now it's time to cut into the fuselage and remove the area over the tail wheel. I located the stringers inside using pins and looking inside witth a flashlight and then marked the sides so I knew where to cut and then I cut down through using the formers as a guide for the verticle cuts. Next I drew the wheel oopening onto some heavy card stock and then cut it out and laid it on the fuselage over the tail wheel and lined it all up to center the tail wheel and to check for clearence. Make some reference marks on your template and on the fuselage so you can go back and check it again if you need to.
