Got the fuse planked completely other than the top front hatch area - I wanted it open to see where the bottom cowl should be cut at.
It feels good to get it sheeted !!
The Tail is sanded and fit and ready to glue once covered.
The wing has been test fit and ready to cover
The fuel tank (16 oz) has been placed in to ensure it fits
- I shouldve drilled the fuel line holes thru the fire wall, but forgot, so now I will do it when the bottom cowl is removed

Cutting the bottom cheek cowl is gonna be a chore.
I had marked the areas at one time, but with my sanding I eventually removed them. I have the horizontal area cut loose already, but the firewall side edge and bottom is being stubborn

I took a break , charged 8 lipos, 3 planes,2 radios for a race this weekend, and fired up a new Viper to maiden sometime this week as well.
So much to do as I prepare for a 3 weekend blast from Utah to Az to Cali racing.
