Before/after...again.

Fuse tail:
Finished up gluing the remaining stringers.

Stab:
LE and TE broken so needed some basswood to re-enforce those areas: especially along the TE. Lead filled butter containers used to keep stab flat on the workbench. Workbench edge used to align TE of stab.

Wing:
LE complete break so some 1/8" thick aircraft ply epoxied along the break. With flat ribs, lead weight again used to keep wing parts aligned with each other.
