Finished all the planking on the fuse finally.
I also cut loose the bottom cheek cowl (some repair work was needed as I got carried away with glue)

I pre installed the engine mount to make sure it all fits, I even put the engine in the mount.
I drilled two holes thru the fire wall for the fuel line
- I will use a 3 line system in my tank as I do on all my YS engines.
- one line goes directly to the pick up nipple
- one line goes directly the pressure nipple with a "T" that exits bottom of plane for releasing pressure after a run
- one line goes directly to bottom of plane or out fuse cowl side for fueling and defueling

I also shaped the top air scoop (not pictured) and will cover it before installing it on top of fuse front end
I am beginning work on bottom air scoop and frt of wing filler to fuse
- I will epoxy these directly to the wing so building these requires the wing on the plane
