The landing brake is coming up soon. I first had another go at the fuselage sides.
They are better than before. Its a little tricky because I’ve make the bottom 2″ thick rather than plans 1.6″ so the templates are only going to be correct at certain places.
While I used the shaping tool I made, some graphite pencil on the templates and then a large sanding board worked well in spot sanding to make things more correct. One issue is sanding the hard longerons and the soft foam at the same time.
Not perfect but now OK to move on. There will be a very small amount of micro required on a few dents after the sides are glassed.
