Default RE: Mid Star 40 Build Thread

More fuse work tonight. I went ahead and glued up the fuselage with thick CA along all the seams, I used 30min epoxy for the firewall. I installed the headrest using a die cut gauge included in the kit to make sure it has the proper rearward angle. The pre-shaped fuse stringers were added. Next I installed the main LG mount, again using 30min epoxy and I also glued up the front bottom lite-ply sheeting. 1/2 inch balsa tri-stock was used to reinforce the firewall. As you can see, I had to relieve the tri-stock to clear the blind nuts and the hole for the nose wheel steering. The final picture shows the fuel tank floor glued in place
