Default RE: Ugly Stick Build

So, Sunday morning the Stab came out from under the books (weights), and I started laying out the pieces for the Fuselage.

I had already glued up the Fuselage sides at this point. Lazer cut kit came with a nice splice joint, which should be stronger than the wood!

I also have epoxied the mysterious single 1/4 hole plywood piece to front of F2.

I pinned the bottom sheets down and used a little epoxy to join them together. I started gluing up the bulkheads until I realized I still had to drill the firewall for the nose wheel and engine mounts.

I have to admit, I hate this part. The holes never seem to line up right! However, I managed to do OK this time. Nose wheel mount only required a very slight widening of the original top two holes, and the engine mount actually came out perfect.
