Default RE: Dirty Birdy Build Thread

The plans show bulkhead #3 has vertical grain. Try turning it 90 degrees. The fuselage is exactly as wide as the fuse top. The sides are edge glued to the bottom of the fuse top, the triangle stock is added and then the whole corner is carved away. (Did that make any sense?) I kept thinking the parts were wrong too.

You're right, the wing dowel holes were not predrilled. But the instructions have you drill them before fuselage assembly. My point on the other post is that if you drill them after setting the wing incidence you'll be able to position them exactly where needed.
