Looks good. Just a few things:

Cut the cockpit off the fuse so you can run the hardwood strips on the top and bottom of the fuse, then glue the cockpit back on.




If you don't have the hardwood strips glued to the top and bottom of the fuse it will twist break. I used a yardstick ripped to 3/4 wide to match the foam thickness. Do NOT have any splices in the wood anywhere or that will become a weak spot and you will crack the fuse on a hard landing or dirtnap. My Hots did that.. I did end up splicing 6 extra inches to the bottom back by the tail, but that is a low stress area under the HStab. I needed a good solid place to mount the tail wheel assembly.

I have had a few people ask about dimensions, so you all must not have CAD programs, so you can't use my CAD files. Here is a link to a GIF image I made with the dimensions:
