More Fuselage Pictures - 7/29/2001

	Attaching the 3/2" stock to the top/back of F2-F4.
	A little extra 1/4" tri-stock in front of F2-F4.
	The wing cutouts for wing tube and anti-rotation pins.  Notice no exit hole for the aileron servo leads........  You have to glue some light ply in the lightening hole to make a servo lead cutout....... So much for the lightening hole........
	The infamous bowed stringer.
	A close-up of the stringer at F3.  Notice that it has been jammed in and the wood crushed.
	The stringer at F4.
	And another view.
	This gives a good idea of how much the stringer is bowed.
	This is the brace that I made to go on each side of F3 and F4.  Notice the key slot to go around the stringer.  I made this by simply "nibbling" out the slot on my bandsaw.
	This is how I installed the keyed brace around the stringer.  One on each side F3 and F4.
	This is the cross brace I made to straighten out the stringers between F3 and F4.  Simply CA glued it in place.
	After installation of the braces and the cross brace things look a lot nicer and straighter.  Let's just hope everything holds!
	The bottom of the fuselage after cover removal.
	Former F5 - everything looks nice and tight.
	This is the rear of the fuselage at the tail section.  Well built and sturdy.
	Another view of the tail section showing the horizontal stab guide tube.
	More of the fuselage former behind the cockpit.  Very well built!
	I think this is what I was supposed to do in Step B.4 - a diagonal brace between F4 and F5.  The acute angle is approximately 70 degrees.  See next picture.
	I got an email from another modeler who is assembling this kit.  He talked to Jeff at Aeroworks and got clarification on Step B.4.  The 3/8" balsa should be glued to the longerons as shown here.  That is, they should be glued to the longeron and the plywood fuselage between F4 and F5, not diagonally as I originally did.   The purpose this according to Jeff is to strengthen the longerons where they are spliced between F4 and F5.  This is a little worrisome in my opinion.  But, now that I have it doubly braced via my first attempt, it should be extra strong here.
	The smoke tank "compartment".  The tank is simply shown for reference at this point.  Notice the ledge I built to receive the access panel.  This will give me easy access to the smoke tank if need be.  All mounting points hardened with CA.  Will tap 8/32 threads for nylon bolts. Also notice the 3/4" tri-stock that I added behind F2.
	This is the frame for the smoke tank compartment hatch cover.  Will drill mounting holes for 8/32 nylon bolts and the cover with Ultracote.  All joints and mounting points hardened with CA.
