After shaping the proper outlines of the top and bottom fuse blocks, I then tacked them in place using only a few drops of thick CA each. After I'm done carving and rough-finishing the outer fuselage, I'll then pop those blocks off and hollow them from the inside. It's a laborious but rewarding process as the fuselage slowly takes it's familiar shape while maintaining a reasonable weight.
The one photo shows the 5mm thin ply strips embedded in both fuse sides which are nescessary for mounting and holding the lower cowling in place.
Even though I'll be using electric power for this project, I installed a flexi Nyrod throttle cable in case a glow motor should one day make it's way into the nose. That's all for now.
