The tail section is also setup with the inserts done and the fuse bottom and fixed rudder installed permanently. With that done, I began shaping the fuse top... much sanding still to go.

With the airframe almost complete, I checked to see how much weight I've added since the last estimate. With several pieces of tape and much sanding still to go, she's at an even 18 oz. The last estimate was at 16 oz (1 lb) but I had forgotten to include some of the belly pan material. Hopefully, I'll be able to bring her in at 17 oz by lightening a couple of spots once the sanding is complete.

What's next...? Lots of elbow grease I guess!
