After several days the floor contours were completed. I also rough cut the front wheel hole which will be trimmed later.
The alignment of the bulkheads were checked with a laser. As long as these line up and the centre of the floor is pretty close I’II have a straight fuselage. The squareness of F22 and the firewall is already confirmed and set.
A curved jig is needed to hold the floor in a curved shape on the fuselage. It is then removed to the table for glassing. I began setting up the jig as shown in the first pic. I just screwed the timber together which allowed me to easily dismantle it later but be held in place for now.
Looks like a bathroom cabinet!
