I measured and cut out the main gear door openings in the bottom of the fuse. The wing mounting formers were assembled from carbon and plywood pieces. The wings were fitted to the fuse and the wing mounting formers were hysoled in place. The fan mounting structure, gear door mounting structure (the air cylinders and hinging mechanisms will be mounted to this structure), and elevator servo mounting structure were built and installed. Based on the instructions, the fan needs to be installed while the hysol for the fan mounting structure is setting. In order to do this the nose had to be glued in place and the intake ducting temporarily installed. After that, the fan was installed. Current weight of the fuse with everything I've done up until now including the installed fan and the nose retract and strut is 5 pounds.
