Rebuild of E-flite "diamante 25e

My Diamante had her maiden flight at Cashmoor on 8th September 2015.
Having trimmed her out I had many enjoyable flights then on 18th July 2016
I flew into the sun, lost site of her, she crashed destroying the fuselage back
to the wing trailing edge and also badly damaged the wing centre section.
Come March this year I decided it was time to have a go at a rebuild.
This will not be a quick job so I'll post pictures at significant stages of the rebuild.

Phil - No rush on the Diamante, I have two models awaiting some decent weather for their maidens.
Check your diary against the date on the pic, could well be your MX 2

Pete - Camera at the ready but progress will be somewhat pedestrian compared to your build speed.
Now considering best way to rebuild the fuselage.

Hi Colin, do you have a building jig? Makes it easier to line up the fuselage parts. Low tack masking tape helps as well, stops things wandering about as the glue cures.
