Just finished shaping the fuselage to the point where I can now detach the top and bottom blocks. Next is the tedious job of hollowing those blocks before re-attaching them and applying the finishing touches to the fuse.
A few things yet to do include the installation of the internal antenna guide, the cable guides for the pull-pull rudder, and finishing the cowling so I can properly mount it to the fuse bottom which is the only way to truly determine to what point I can trim the lower fuselage edge where it mates with the cowling edge.
As well, given that no more Aurora 60 cowlings are available (supposedly), I might rip a quick mold from the original just in case I need a spare in the future. All it takes is 1 belly landing in the rough to wreck the fragile cowl.
