Gutting front fuse


With most of the rear fuse complete the rear fuse halves were glued back together and I turned to the front fuse


Started removing foam for a fuel tank placed on the CG with a hack saw blade


The first cuts were pretty easy


The long center section removed


A Dremel oscillating saw used to remove the plastic front hatch mounts


Next I used an old foam wing spar cutter taped to a stick to hot wire cut the foam from each fuse side


Results came out pretty good. View from the cockpit hatch


View from the rear of the front fuse section


Rear of front fuse. Still some foam left here for good structure
