Default RE: Build thread for a Carl Goldberg Eagle II Trainer??

I finished the remaining former and pieced the fusealage together with all the pieces loose fit and rubber banded per the instructions. I was not wanting to remove the diecut dowel holes but having the wing hold down dowels in place helped aling the wing saddle doubler more precisely so I'll close them up later. Eerything fit nicely. I'm still deciding if I want to take this route of glueing while it's all together as the instructions state. Most construction is adding formers to one side then adding the other side to it. This has its challenges because while the front and rear formers under the leading and trailing edge are usualy 90 degress to the fuse, the farther aft you go, the farther from 90 degree the remaining formers (3) are (depending on which side of the former your going off of). This angle can be duplicated by looking at the top view of the plan so I'm going to sleep on it. [sm=confused.gif]. I just feel a better joint can be obtained by adding formers to one side, then adding the other side as things will be less likely to shift around and fillets can be better applied
