Now that the fusebox is complete, it can be carefully placed back on the table, over the build line. Without a wing socket handy for the fuse (long story), I began working on the top rear fuse turtle deck. The sheeted core should fit properly from the tailpost up to the top rear deck former (TRD F2). Dry fit TRD F2 and then fit the sheeted deck to that. Please make note of the overall height of the sheeted deck and the top of the TRD F2 former. They should match closely after accounting for sheeting and the 3/8" cap on the top of the sheeted deck. The cutout for the vertical fin can now be made using a small jig included among the laser parts. The jig is simply a guide help quickly get the fit of the vertical fin close, using a dremel tool.

Once the cutout is complete, the sheeted deck can be glued atop the fusebox. I recommend a very ligh amount of polyurethance glue and tape to hold the deck in place.

I mention the wing tube socket above, because this would be the best time to set the wing tube and stab tubes, using the sheeted stabs and wings. Place the fusebox upside down on the build table. Measure carefully (of course) to make sure the distance from tips to a reference point are equal. I try to measure to a corner of the sheeted foam core at each tip, rather than any wood caps that may have been sanded...if the sheeting was carefully sanded flush with the cores, that will be the best place to measure to.
