well i have been stringering again today.
bent and fixed down the tailplane fairing and then stringering away.

stuck the firewall onto the number 2 fuse and started to curve the tailplane fairing.
back to stringers tomorrow.
then number 3 fuse can be got moving again.

getting bored with cutting ply formers.

i weighed my ligthweight 90% balsa fuse and as it is now we are at 321gms
the no 2 fuse without the rest of the stringers is weighing 333gms.
so a fair weight saving so far.

well today i have curved and fixed down the sheet front of fuse 2.
also finished the stringers on fuse 2.
glued the keel on fuse 3 and 4.

Tomorrow i might consider finishing the formers for fuse 3 and 4, gluing F1 in one fuse and starting the stringers of the other one.
or i might just stay in bed.
