The forward fuselage is starting to take shape. This has probably been the biggest and most complex part that I've molded so far. It took a few hours on each half to spray the primer and lay up the glass/ carbon. I struggled with holding a vacuum on the first part, so that half was effectively done without vacuum bagging, but I got a good vacuum with the second half. Both halves looked like they came out well, although I haven't pulled them out of the molds. Fingers crossed for when I join them together.
I have started to cut out and dry-fit the internal structure. Now just waiting on more custom plywood before I can progress much further. Nose wheel steering and nose gear door servo mounts integrated into the structure, along with a ballast mounting tray.
