Okay let's get started on the fuse.

Layout the formers, firewall parts and fuse sides. Take a quick inventory on the parts needed to complete the basic crutch.

In the new kits Mike is including the stringers. But here I am striping 8 1/4" sq. stringers from a plank of 1/4 contest wood. I use a basic balsa stripper, the technique here is to select a piece of wood that has straight grain. if there is a big curve in the grain or if the wood is warped you will not get the required result, a straight stinger. Make long smooth cuts, use a sharp blade and cut all the way through on one pass.

These stingers I've cut here are about 4 grams each.

Yes it's very important to weigh every peice of wood and every drop of glue. Make a check sheet and record your weights.
