I 've rough sanded the fuselage sides and installed the gussetts which support the various stick wood joints.

One side is done and the other side is drying.......the Gorilla Glue tacks pretty quickly when clamped........10 minutes or so and the gussett isn't going anywhere!

The next step is the one which always frightens me! Joining the fuselage sides together - I've got to make sure EXACTLY where the firewall goes - that sets the initial alignment and controls controls how well the fuse does or does not join together. The jigs which are provided by the designer will help greatly when each cross piece is added......it is rather ingenious........kudos to Larry for providing them.
