Default RE: B-24 Build

This is for Alex7403. Thanks. When I got your thread about glues that cure into curves in long ones, I went back to mine and did some checking. Yes there was some curvature that I didn't like. So out came the straight edges, clamps, machinists' squares and bars. I took off the right half formers and clamped everything to straight edges and right angle forms and put it on the assembly table against a straight line. Now I'm doing 1 to 3 formers at a time all clamped up and no glue until I check everything for straight. Once all the formers are glued then I'll take the 1/4 inch stringers and starting in the middle, glue out to the ends, all the while checking for square.
