Strong Fuselage

Typical box section design built up with laminated siding, from plywood inner to balsa outer. You will find there is copious amounts of balsa which affords the ability to make any scale spit in the range - Good idea.

Wing Mount

Good strong support/retaining design.

You can see the laminated sides.

Fuel Bay

Plywood fuel bay.

Firewall Braces

The plan shows installation of Rx. battery and Throtle servo installed in tank bay (certainly plenty of room) hence the hole drilled through F2 for wiring.

Rear Cockpit

May have to fit a half size pilot )-: due to cable system, I want to fit on rudder.

Bottom Fillets

Triangular fillets used to aid the final fuselage shape after sanding the box section.

Note: The triangular lengths are best broken along length to aid taking up the fuselage profile.

Setting Tailplane seating level

Tailplane Mount

Note the cut out for elevator bellcrank.

Shaping Up

Fairings mated to wings and cowling fiited for final filler!

Canopy

Couldn't resist kitting out the cockpit - have to do some heavy masking later! The sloping canopy walls clearly visable.

Th bulk of the fuselage build is now complete just kit out the fuselage with 1/4 scale servos. I stuck to the plan for servo locations ie. Batteries on top of fuel tank along with throttle servo.

The elev & rudd. servos in the belly close to C/G. One thing I would like to point out is the fuel tank would have been better placed on the C/G. if using a pumped carb.
