Default GP Extra 300 60 size Building Hints

On the fuse sides that are light ply, they bend around and glue to the fire wall. Soak these and pre-bend into that shape, prior to gleeing. I started by bending around various size cans, large to smaller.
If I did it over, I wouldn't have glued the belly pan on until after I covered the wing. I would have temporary fastened it to insure the proper location then removed. Covered the wing and belly pan separate, then removed the covering at the attaching points on the wing and epoxy down.
Landing gear fastens with wood screws. I used blind nuts and bolts. Due to I don't always make smooth landings, and the wood screws came out. After I installed the blind nuts and bolts, no more problems on less then perfect landings.
