Some basic components,
cut out. The excess plastic has been left on the front end of
the roof to ease curling it around a round knife handle. This
curl will ease fuselage assembly later:
Doors, windows and control surfaces can all benefit from scribing
early on in the build.
Some of the locator tabs ended up too far away from the edge,
so I added more. These plus the floor-and-bulkhead assembly, properly
dried, let you assemble the fuselage without 6 hands; taping the
sides and bottom together first helps too:
You can't test-fit too
often... (Here I'm checking the spiling in the bottom seams forward.)
...or use too many rubber
bands (See that tiny hole just forward of the wing spar cutout?
There's one at the tail, too. I wire pinned and taped the 2 sides
together for final sanding to get them exactly the same shape).
