Default RE: Jack Stafford Chipmunk

I have all the fuse formers in place and the fuse top. The stab is epoxied into place, the fuse tail end builds around the stab. I had to cut a new larger firewall due to moving the firewall back 3/4" to accept the OS .52 The new firewall worked out good. The top of the fuse sides and the sides of the fuse top get sanded flush to the angles on the fuse formers then a 3/16" piece gets glued on the corner then that will get sanded to the round shape of the fuselage. I will leave off the bottom fuse sheeting until I have the control rods ran for the tail surfaces and throttle.
Here are a few pics of how the fuse looks now.
