Hey MegaMang, Glad to hear from you again. As to your first question: since the foto was taken I have added triangle blocks made from both balsa and spruce, depending on where they go. I literally moved the slots. Cut them in the new position and filled the old slots with ply inserts. The addition of the blocks has stiffened the whole assembly conciderably. It is now very ridgid. I'll post a foto of it tonight. Yes, the tape was to protest the Fuse sides while I sanded the fairings. I left it on for the pictures for contrast. The fairing disappeared without it.
