Here is the dry layup for the center section. Found enough bad dimensions and missed slots to keep me on my toes. As you can see I use magnets who's design came from a fellow modeler who posted them on the web. My hat is off to him as I built them from his design and use the daylights out of them. Wing cardboard tube OD was 1 3/8 " and I had a Fostner bit that size, unfortunately the fit was too snug so I used the spindle sander to enlarge them just slightly. All is clamped in place and the holes lined up correctly to insert the tube. I will tear down the build and drill in the other holes. I have searched everywhere for 1/2" cardboard tubes and can not locate them so I will, as you say, roll my own. Here are some shots of the build so far
