Belly extension.
To create the detailed belly I need to extend the bottom of the fuselage to the end of the wing.
I found a scrap piece of carbon fiber layup I made for the prototype of my P-47 that worked great.
I cut this to fit flush to the back cut out of the fuselage, and to keep the shape of the fuselage as it moves forward.
I taped a strait edge to the bottom center of the fuselage to keep my extension on the correct plan.
Some blue tape to seal the joint and get it ready to glass.
I am glassing the inside being the piece I installed already has a finish on it and it will just need some easy sand to clean up the joint.
I made a plywood mount so I could move over to the construction plane jig. This will be used throughout the build for construction, detailing and painting. It allows me to work on the plane with or without the cowl.
