8178,

Those are kind words, I am glad your are happy with the plans.....you didn't waste anytime getting them printed did you?

After work I sanded the top sheeting flush with the side bevels and cut some very soft 1/8" balsa to size. The reason for the soft balsa is that the sheeting will have to be applied with a slight twist, since the bevel angle changes from the Firewall (F2) to F1. I used polyurethane glue and masking taped it to death.

Afterwards, I put the fuse on its back and took the motor out. I then applied thinned epoxy all over the inside of the engine compartment. This will soak into all the joints and strengthen the nose nicely.
