It has been awhile, but we are back at the build, again!

I am going to take you back to post #234. We had already installed the tailwheel assembly, and ran stringers from the last fuse former to then back of the fuse. Now, we are going to fare it all in, in preparation for sheeting the bottom of the fuselage. Scrap pieces are glued in-place, as pictured. Note that the blocks match the width of the side stringers, to allow for the thickness of the sheeting/strip planking.


Tim's rear fairing block.



Here the author (Ollie) carefully checks fit and alignment of the block, prior to gluing.

Two lengths of scrap stringer material installed; and, started sanding to "round" the bottom.



Sanding roughly completed.
