Hi Lee, Thanks for the input. That was pretty good analyzes. First time I'v seen some do it via YouTube. Much easier than simple text would have been to convey your thoughts.
I noticed last night in the pics that something (actually several somethings) looked off. So I went out this morning to do a more in depth look at things.
One fuse side has a different curve to it. Danged if I know why it did that, never had this type of construction do that so severely. I can't live with it, that's for sure. I think I can get away with adding another sheet of 1/8" balsa, and then sand it to match, maybe 2 at the high point of the curve.
The biggest concern was the fire wall. I was thinking it might have a been a warped piece of ply. I made bothe the fire wall and F1 from some scrap 1/4".
So what i did to check was a ruler to check flatness. That came out OK.
Then jigged the fuse up on one of the inch lines on my steel building board. I made sure to get the fire wall, F1, and the very back centered on the line. I had use the scrap 3/4" ply that I was using as a push block on my little dremel saw. Hmm, then thought well better see if the push block is true. It ain't. Took some digging but I found a piece of OSB the checked true when I laid it on the cast iron bed of my big table saw. That piece of OSB I recognized and know it is really old, So I checked some more. Well pleasant surprise, it was dead on flat no matter how I checked it. Good to go.
I jigged the fuse and the OSB At a perfect right angle and started checking expecting to see a off true fire wall. I wasn't see that though. Nah, can't be right. Check some more and still true. Well I guess I can be persuaded to live with that
.
I will have to be much more careful with camera angles.
Interesting that the S.S sim corkscrews in rolls. Hopefully mine will do a little better, but if not no big deal.
Making a servo tray The right hand aircraft ply doubler looks crooked. I fixed that after I saw it in the pic
