Default The problem with aliphatic...

...is that on really wet days it takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r to dry (it's pouring rain today)! As such I couldn't get much done. I got the X mount glued into the nose and when it was dry I added the remaining portions of the triangle stock behind it. This will of course be rounded out to blend the square fuselage with the round spinner. I also bonded the 1/16" panels together for the hatch cover and built the frame. It looks off in the picture because I'm making it a little longer than called for on the plan to make use of the ply I added at the base of the forward bulkhead. Eventually (once it had finally cured enough to handle) I glued the frame to the hatch cover, I will trim and shape it tomorrow. Last thing I did was to add the servo mounts and make a guide out of 1/8" ply for the CF control rods. Nothing is bolted in yet, they are just sitting there while the glue dries (if it ever does!).
