I was originally going to fly this fuselage, but the engine mount points about 2 degrees left. No fixing that. So it became the plug. It is moderately brittle. The one that I am flying is as tough as nails. I have one more in reserve, and it is like a cigarette ash.

Here are some pics of my plug. I am reworking the saddle area, and toning down the bulges at the rear of the fillet. I presume that hey are there to make room for the hardwood blocks that were in vogue for the wing bolts back in the day. I don't dig or endorse that method, I use as ply plate (see back in the thread.) Much better load distribution. You guys are inspiring me to get back to it. I have a new 2 meter to assemble, then i think I am going to pick back up where I left off.
