Progress is being made.......slow but sure......I think in a previous life I must have been a tortoise.

I have the wing tube frame and the landing gear block holders glued to one fuselage side. I used 5 minute epoxy for this task. The designer used wood glue on this part of his fuse build - both seem to work well, so I guess it's builder's choice here.

I have test fitted the other fuse side onto the first with all the other cross members for the forward fuse in place (nothing glued at this time). Things seem to be lining up pretty well so far.

I also pulled the tail together to see how that lined up - I might be a 32nd of an inch off as it sits......wow, just like magic (or a good design). Now if I can apply glue and put everything back in the same place..........

You might notice the all-thread clamps with angles or washers - my Dad taught me this trick many years ago. Pretty versatile.
