Installed the diagonal braces on top and bottom of fuselage

fuselage

DETAIL:

Installed the diagonal braces on top and bottom of fuselage today.  I also put a coat of spar varnish on the aft section of the fuse.  I'm using spar varnish on the fuselage and I'll be using epoxy varnish on the tail surfaces and wings.  Mainly because the fuselage will have little contact with the fabric and it's easier in my opinion to use spar varnish..  Where the fabric does touch on the stringers I'll put a coat of epoxy varnish over it.

I'm hoping to place my order for BS-1088 Marine plywood today.  Can't find it locally so I'm having it trucked in   :-(
