This issue cost me a few days. F3 does not fit correctly, I emailed Jim (?) Reeves for links to other build threads and he offered to help. It appears all or part of F3 is high. Now to figure out whether to cut the top of the former or to lower the full piece.

Laminating the firewall formers this evening but an hour later or more the 30 min epoxy hasn't hardened. I think I'll wait on more this assembly and give the epoxy a night to cure.

A little cold there! Now you know us north of the Mason Dixon line go through.

A little warmer this weekend. Maybe 50 today.

Playing around with the fuse today, trying to square everything and I came up this idea. The aluminum angle is perfect length.

The stringers for the fuselage are they balsa or Sitka spruce and how big are they.

 

[dhal22]

They are poplar from Lowe’s……(1/4”x1/4”)

I cut them from a 4”x48”x1/4” plank.

Working on the front section of the fuse. I'm finding beveling some of the laser cuts and trimming the F3 former are helping me dial the parts in.

Photo is too large. I'll have to download a photo reducer.
