OK we have a start ... Marking all parts to the plan ...this is the first time I have not seen extra wood in the kit from the cut outs ..in other words all scrap has been removed to save space and shipping I would think ..very smart...

Next working with the fuse sides marked on the former positions and moved the aft formers ahead 3" and cut off the remaining part ...changed out former #4 with #5 as it has the fin guide notched in the top plus added 1/4" balsa backing for spacing and added glue surface to cover joint along with the 3/4" tri stock.

I need the nose gear now to drill and mount the gear into place before I glue into the fuse sides.... so will turn my attentions to the wing for now.
