After the lower wing is done, it's time to begin the fuse. A few sub-assemblies and it's time to start dry-fitting it all together. It went together very easy and fast.
I sub'd some 1/8 aircraft ply for the firewall formers as they were not up to my standards. It is important when doing so to make sure that you alternate the wood grain to get max. strength. You also have to have your engine on hand to drill the engine mount holes and throttle hole.
First pic is one of my helpers during this build. He has been good company while down in the basement (building room) lol!!!
When drilling the holes for the cabane mounting screws, use a really good bit to make sure and have a nice clean hole. One thing I do sometimes is to soak the area with thin CA before drilling to help cut down on splintering.
