Alright I have lights, camera and a very little action. According to Ron Chidgey's article the way to build the fuse is to mark the fuse top and add the formers and fuse sides to it. I was able to lay out the top block with the ceterline and the locations of F1 through F6 (picture 1). I had previously finished the firewall with all the mounting holes for the engine and nosegear (picture 2). Then I added a centerline to each of the formers (picture 3). Due to the fact that I used plywood doublers on the fuselage siges I elected to replace the 1/2 x 1/4 spruce longerons with hard balsa. So that is drying and I will hopefully have a fuse blocked together this evening.

I want to see how Cees (Taurus Flyer)'s vacuum bagging process works. Sound a little more 21st century than my BRICKS for weight.

WEDJ this is another Webra 61 BH. I have 6 of them now. 2 look nice and 2 are so-so but the 4 run well the others are NIB so I should have engines for a long time.

Hope to see you at Salem this weekend.

Peace
