<div style="margin-bottom: 0in">Bottom Fuselage framing</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in">I got all the formers glued in with exception to 5-B. I did not want to use CA for the crutch, F1, 2 and yellow glue I think would not be best for this so I went with 30 min epoxy. It was a challenge because 30 min epoxy has about a 5 min working time (un-thinned). So the clock was ticking. I fitted everything dry and made sure it was all good then I went for it. I barely made it. The glue became stringy as I set B3 but it all came out great, strong too I did use CA for the rest of the formers. <div style="margin-bottom: 0in">It appears that B9 is close to the tail wheel and needs to be moved or cut. I remember reading that somewhere. The manual doesn&rsquo;t talk about that, I think (really haven&rsquo;t read it So what are you guys doing here? <div style="margin-bottom: 0in">Also there are two B7 formers. There is no mention of this, are you suppose to double them up or is that a typo in the cutting?Did I miss something!<div style="margin-bottom: 0in">I am not going to go any further with the fuselage until my carbon fiber sheets come. I want to do all my reinforcing next. It shipped yesterday and should be here on Monday. So I will tinker and fine tune.</div></div></div></div>
