Scott, I'm going to go ahead and tape seam but if you notice there is a small twist. I'm sure that you have noticed that there is an edge flange molded onto the fuselage seam. This is only the last layer of 3.1 oz cloth. A thin bead of paste adhesive will be applied to this flange, some straight resin applied to the edge of the fuselage and then the molds will be clamped together. I will then apply a 1" tape across the seam. I will be posting pictures of a fuselage early next week.
