Due to windy weather at the flying field I got a chance to start on the fuselage sides. Here is photo after the first one was completed. I have never built a truss style fuselage and found the experience to be a pleasure. There is a real sense of accomplishment after you get one of these completed. Lots of joints so having a disc sander is a must.

Modified lower portion of the fuselage side to accommodate the Robart Landing gear. Will be adding a wider landing gear plate.
