Default 4*60 fuselage reinforcement

Rajul, I started this project not long ago and so far I have just glued the fuse doublers onto the sides and trial fitted the fuse parts together. I'm putting together a WM Super Stunt 60 at the same time so it might be awhile till I get back on the 4*60. I'm terrible about having too many projects going at the same time, but sometime it works to my benefit. If I'm waiting on some parts for one project, I can proceed with another.

BTW, if you want to see some skimpy liteply fuse construction, you ought to see how the WM Super Stunts are built. I have both the 40 and 60 size and compared to them, the 4*60 fuse is stout! Then again, the Super Stunts are funfly planes with extremely light wingloading. Coupled with quad flaps, one can do some amazing flying otherwise impossible.

Back to the tristock, the idea is very simple. Just glue the fuse together, and add the tristock to the four corners of the fueselage in sections from former to former. 3/8" is for right behind the wing; 1/4" goes to the very rear of the fuse.
