More progress this afternoon - I now have the forward fuselage sides joined together. I used 30 minute epoxy for this task ..... and I'm glad I did,

too. It took me 25 minutes to get the epoxy spread all around, the fuse sides put together (this was done while on it's side), then turned upside

down (because the fuse top is flat from the firewall to the rear of the cockpit) then put the various pieces back into place (because some fell out

when I layed it upside down), then the ply board put on top with a steel weight (this helped square the fuselage sides to the table), then put in the

wing tube and an alignment piece in the rear fuse (this allowed me to insure the fuse was square and the wing tube was level to the stab and then

clean up all the dripping epoxy with alcohol and then finally remove the wing tube before the epoxy set up.

This sounds like a big production but it's not really difficult to do........it takes time and the epoxy allows only so much time. I made a couple of dry

runs with the procedure so I wouldn't make a mess of things. If I thought I needed more time, there is always Hobby Poxy II with a 45 minute

working time.
