Next I turned the fuselage over so it was right side up, then glued a short piece of balsa scrap with a straight edge onto the reference line on the firewall so that it extended to the building table. I then lined up the scrap to a line on my table, with the reference line on F3 and with the reference line on my table. Then I pulled the tail together over the same reference line on the table, trimmed the triangle supports to fit and glued it together using 30 min epoxy and clamps as necessary. No worries about banana shaped fuselages with this method!
Next I sheeted the bottom using 1/16 inch balsa glued on cross grain with Ambroid glue. The plans show 3/32 balsa back to F3 but I thought I would try using all 1/16 balsa to see if the plane holds up as well. That's the great part about building your own plane, you can try different things.
Finally trim and sand as necessary.
