Read the instructions.
pin down the 3/8 fuselage side.
No 3/8 fuselage side.
root round ah, 6 x 1/8 fuselage sides, so you have to laminate 3 1/8 sides together to make 1 x 3/8 side.
once that was sorted in my head we ploughed on.

One side almost ready to come of the board.

Cold, raining, flat calm!
if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

I had a look at your fuselage build photo Tony and I was beginning to think it might be possible to build something close from just the photo but - 6 laminations of 1/8th to make the fuselage halves and according to Phil 8 servos??? - still trying to work that one out - lets see 2 for the ailerons - 1 each for the flaps, throttle, elevators and ,I suppose 1 each for the rudders - hmmm that's 7 - OK - no retracts so 2 for the elevators as well?? Just out of curiosity what wingspan and fuselage length??

right well hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

the 1/16 ply coverings have been glued on both sides of each fuselage now.
been sat in the garage with loads of weight on them to make sure the glue binds well.
tomorrow i will glue the 1/16th balsa on the rear of them and thats the fuselages done.
we can start the wings next.
