Default RE: Balsa USA Enforcer Build...

Well, I went ahead and drew the lines for the formers on the sides of the fuselage. I used a flexible ruler so I could line it up easily with the hash lines on the plans. As you might be able to tell, I am using magnets and a metal table to build instead of pins and a ceiling tile. I still use pins here and there but mostly I will use magnets. Next, it is time to laminate the two plywood firewall pieces together. In the instructions, it states to use pins around F8 to help guide F9 on top of it. Well, magnets and extruded aluminum angle will have to do. What I find interesting is that the instructions said to use thick CA to glue the two pieces together. Call me old school but for anything dealing with the firewall, I am going to use 30 minute epoxy.
