Sounds a bit boring but today I bent the side panels of the fuselage. I did that about 1' behind the rear carry through. So from that point, the two side panels start moving closer together. Also re-adjusted the engine mount a bit with the neighbour who did the welding, and now it fits perfectly !!!!!

Next few jobs on the list are :

  • Cutting the 2 sheets of ply-wood that get fitted on the outside of the fuselage now the 2 sides are not permanently joined.
  • Preparing the firewall. It will be easier to "insert" in between the two sides at this stage.
  • And cutting and installing the two carry through's. They fit very snug in the 4 holes, so will insert them as the last thing before I start with the tubes that connect the two sides of the fuselage !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
