Default RE: Building a DUELIST MK 2 From Plans!

Mike,

I have good news, today I started building my Duelist....

I decided to start with the fuselage first, I bought a pine board (1" x 3" x 6') for a building fixture and glued all formers F-1 through F10 on the board. It definetly helps to keep everything aligned, next I installed 1/4" x 1/4" stringer on top of formers from canopy back to F10, next I was going to install crutch on both sides but decided to wait untill I have both pushrod tubes installed, don't know if I should glue them in permanently yet or wait untill the 1/8" sheeting is dry fitted?
Tomorrow I will install the crutch on both sides....

I'm using Tibond Carpnters glue so it is going to take more time waiting for the glue to dry, I try to stay away from CA Glue if possible, fumes are getting to me.

I'll try to post a picture tomorrow.

So how is your project coming along it has been very quiet here latley...
