I resumed the project by starting construction of the fuselage. The pre-cut sides were only 1/32" thick. They were paper thin and flimsy so I laminated them to achieve 1/16" thickness and they are now much more robust. The forward doublers were installed and1/8" stringers glued into the corners. I glued the sides to the bulkheads while they were pinned upside down on the plans to keep everything aligned. After the firewall was shaped, it was epoxied in place. The upper bulkheads were then installed which lay the foundation for the turtledeck and the area behind the firewall.
