Hey it came it yesterday and i was able to get started on it. finished the stab and rudder then got going on the FUSE.

How did the nose of the upper and the lower match up? mine had a slight gap. required some sanding

and how about the knotches on the bottom of the FUSE side(only one)? mine did not line up exactly the way the plans showed it so i cut a little away to make it fit the plans better.

And I see what you mean by using a 6min for glueing the doubler. the CA just doesn't give enough time. And my top and bottom doubler didn't fit together as nicely as I would hope.

As far as the wing two things, I am going to use the bolt on. I think it gives it a much cleaner look and the dowel will keep the wing from wanting to lift. Now the dihedral is a personal pref. I had this discussion last night also. I'm going with the full amount. Yes it wont do rolls as easy but I want this to be the easiest flying plane as it can be. A glider. Just incase any of my friends would like to fly it.
