Used some carbon pushrod material to fabricate locking pins - stuffed with wooden swab dowel pin material. Here's something I learned from Trusted Source: turn in drill press while using drum sander chucked up in Dremel results in nice round end...
Cut wooden blanks and fabricated six "bearing" hard points for the locking pins - pivot point on block next to disk sander required use of duckbill pliers to turn the parts next to sander. There's probably an easier way to do this but I probably don't possess the skills and/or equipment to tackle it another way.
Stacked and aligned right and left fuselage side parts, drilled for, and inserted the bearing hard points.
Traced the firewall, formers, and servo tray then attached to appropriate material and rough cut with band saw. Used Dremel and carbide cutter to open up all the big holes, then sanded interiors with drum sander and perimeters with belt/disk sander. Final sanded all parts by hand.
