Gluing on the top longeron doublers on both sides. I also started working on the horizontal stabilizer in the background. |

Cut lots of gusset blocks. You will need them. I made my own miter box out of a 2 x 4 run through the table saw. The hand saw is a pull stroke model from Shark Saw. Works great, I picked it up at Sears. |

After laying out the top of the fuselage on the table and cutting and fitting the spruce. I forgot about parallax. As the fuselage sides flare outwards the distance between the uprights gets foreshortened. By the time the sides got to the seat back the crossmembers were off by 2 inches. Lost 5 hours of work on that miscalculation. They are in the right place now. I should have output the top in CAD and they would have been right the first time. |
