Did not get anything done Saturday, all kinds of things sucked up building time. But I did get a bit done Sunday and this evening.


I basically designed and mad ply doublers and the firewall. I only managed to cut out one side, but it will now make a pattern for the other side, so should be faster.


The bigger doubler is 1/8" light ply. There is a whopping big difference in weight between the finnish on and the unfinished one. The little doubler is 1/16" birch ply. The firewall and first bulkhead will glue straight on it.


That is as far as I can go tonight. But I was really anxious to see how the would come out, how much weight I could remove. Well over half.
