</div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><span style="color: #002060">Now filler is attached to the fuselage and the nose cone is pressed against the fuselage until the filler is dried. Now the cone is disassembled, here you can see the result:</span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">

We had the chance to check the surface of the original very well at our Red Bull visit. The Alpha jet has no heightened areas, for this the planking with metal sheets is not necessary.</span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">

For this reason the fuselage was picked up and is on the way to Uwe Riehm (Paritech). Uwe confirmed the deadline for the jetpower fair can be catched if he gets all the parts until next week. I guess the wings still will be wet when we stick the parts together at the fair.</span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt"></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">
