Thank you!
Yep - CA and epoxy here too (although I think the color of the epoxy is a little 'off'...LOL).
Well, The plan did not call for the enforcement in the wing mount (where the dowels enter the fuse) - I decided to add that by layering a 1.5mm Carbon Fiber plate in between the plywood.
I finished the battery hatch and door. See attachment.
Last evening I also added two CF strips, one on each side of the fuse, where the bolts goes in to hold the cabanes. I run into a problem here earlier (as I mentioned in my first post, #7) - so I decided to make sure the cabanes is not going anywhere. I'll post pictures later today when I get home.
I am almost about done with my fuse - I am not going to do the rest until after I have all the wings build to ensure I have the correct mounting positions for my battery. Therefore I will leave the Fuse Top Front (FTF) and F2, F4 until I have a better feel for the correct CG.
The only other big thing for the fuse I have to do is build the balsa nose cowl - but first I need to stop at the LHS to pick up a piece of 1" x 4" x 4" balsa (at least) to carve the cowl from. I do not like the open top of the nose and since it's electric - I do not need that. The bottom opening is fine - I'll leave that.
I am a little baffled by step 13 in the fuse build. If you look carefully at the plan, it looks like the aluminum cabanes goes in between two ply layers P6 and P8 - (although P7 and P8 are not marked, but according to the plan it looks like it P6 & P8). Then you put a T-nut (blind-nut) in from the bottom side, but the sharp edges of the t-nut (that goes into the wood)
would hit the aluminum cabane strut!!
I'll did some research in the other thread for the Hog Bipe Build, but could not find anything regarding this.....maybe I'll cut off a portion of the sharp points, so that it can only go into one the the plywood plates.
