The fuselage crutch is built inverted over the plan.The lower formers ate tack glued in place,and lower stringers added. Once happy remove from plan,start filling upper formers.I.have temporarily fitted the engine box to aid alignment of front formers.

Nothing done on the provost today as i was on grandpops duty B)
The provost like my hurricane showed the elevator servos using very long push rods which in my mind is a big no no.So before i start sheeting the fuzz i am going to make a double servo tray and fit this under the fin with an access hatch .The rudder servo will be standard set up on heavy duty stainless wires.
I think this will help with the c of g as Frank has a lovely radial 60cc 4 stroke banger which will sound sooooooooooooooo scale up front.Another job on the agenda for tomorrow is fit the wing and glue the locating dowels and start the wing fairing
