Made and glued gussets on left fuse side

3.0

fuselage

DETAIL:

Today I made up the fuselage gussets.  I'm using 1/8" Birch ply. I made paper templates of the gussets then traced them onto the plywood.  I cut all of them for both sides of the fuse.

Glued them up and clamped them overnight. Hoping to join fuselage sides within 2 weeks.

I began framing up the right side while they were drying.  The right side will contain a door for the front cockpit.  It's just too damn hard to get in without the door if your over 6 feet tall.  A picture below shows how I framed the door in.

The right side shown.  Modified for a door. 


The left side!  Awaiting it's right side partner.
