Happy holidays....

With the fuse still flat on the workbench, the wing tube can be trial fitted along with the stabs. On this plane, the stabs will be set and glued after the fuse and stabs are finished seperately. I centered the wing tube in the fuse and did some careful measuring. I tacked the tube socket in place and then carefully test fit the wing panels. With the panels, on I did some measuring and checking to make sure the panels were parallel to the cockpit floor, and square to the length of the fuse. There were no surprises when checking, so the socket was glued in.
