will be carried on to doublers when glue is dry.

The rear of the fuselage is built up from 3/16ʺ sq. sticks
and 1/16ʺX3/16ʺ strips. In retrospect, I should have done
this step before adding the doublers. I like to build both
sides one on top of the other (separated by plastic wrap or
wax paper) to make sure they are identical. With the
doublers, I will have a 1/16ʺ gap between the balsa sides if
I lay them on top of each other. Iʹll just make a temporary
1/16ʺ spacer to go between the sides.
The rudder assembles easily with laser cut 3/16ʺ sheet
pieces and the supplied 3/16ʺ sq stock.
The fuselage is coming along. After building the rear
framework, I sanded everything nice and flat.
