There's a lot of prep work that has to get done before any glue gets spread. All of the die cut plywood Formers were removed from their sheets. The front and rear side of each Former were sanded. Next, I sanded a true 90 degree angle to the bottom edge of each Former so they will sit flat on my build table during assembly. The next step is probably the most critical one. Marking the center line. I transferred the fuselage center line onto each Former.




Each Former's center line was marked. I can't emphasize the importance of this step. When placing the Formers into position, I don't need to worry or look at the sides of each Former, as long as the center line is on point you wont build a banana boat!




Close-up of center line. The center line is there on the plans, use it!!!
