Fuselage is underway. A very simple box with thick sheets of balsa on top of the nose in front of the canopy.

Very nice Mike, what's the secret of building without balsa dust and shavings everywhere?

Turtle decks cut from white foam and skinned with 1/16 balsa using Gorilla Glue. I was not looking forward to cutting these, but they were a lot easier to make than expected. Once glued to the fuselage and carved/sanded to shape you get a very strong but light fuselage.

Fin and rudder made in the same way. They're curing now and can come out after about 3 hours...much quicker and easier to work with than epoxy.
