Default RE: Cloud Bound 4

Hi, Thanks for the tips and cool link. I have a bottle of micro ballons on my workbench, along with a million other things. I also think only the outside needs to be glassed and a little reinforcement added inside around the wing rods.

I worked on my Cloud Bound 4 many hours this weekend. This fuselage with the rear open structure is very time consuming. Below are four pictures of my progress.

PICTURE 1, Top 1/2" block has been cut to fit and contour sanded. I have pre-cut most of the top and bottom fuselage braces.
PICTURE 2, Can't see in picture but top block is glued in place. Rear fuselage is now clamped and ready for upper cross braces.
PICTURE 3, Upper cross braces finished
PICTURE 4, Fuselage turned upside down and bottom cross braces installed.

Cloudbound, Mike
