It's December 2, 2014 and before we get to the build, it's tool time. Picture #1 is the set of drill bits I usually use and they're too old. My point is if you can't remember when you got your drill bits then you probably need new ones. They're not expensive, make a great stocking stuffer, and it's 22 days until fat ass in the red suit shows up so put your request in. Now, on to the build.

Pictures #2 to #5 are of the completed fuselage box with the tail skid, wing mounting plate, and the forward landing gear mount installed. Great care has been taken to insure everything is straight, level, square, and plumb. Everything has been rough sanded and is ready for tomorrow's step which will be installing the firewall and mounting the engine. Tune in tomorrow for our next exciting chapter!
