So now I'm starting the fuselage. We have several problems here. First, as I mentioned before, I need to make a 1/4 ply firewall to use a standard mount and nosegear bracket. You can see that in the first photo. None of these are glued in, they are just placed there for now.

Also in that photo is the second former, which is at the wing LE. This is a big problem. 1/16 ply just isn't going to be strong enough for the wing dowels. Plus, the fuel tank will extend through that bulkhead. My solution will be to face it in 1/8 ply at the bottom and sides, then cut out the middle for the tank. That should work OK.

The former behind that is OK as is. (middle of wing saddle)

The stub former at the TE of the wing is again not adequate for the plate that will have the rear screws of the wing. Plus, it does not go up all the way on the fuse. Again, I will add material. This time I think 1/8 behind, and some 1/16 ply up to the top, with a cross member.
