I'm using bungee cords as a temporary method for holding things together. 341 viewsThe bungees allow me to gently pull the sides apart to add/remove a piece to check the fit without having all the other pieces fall out of position. Once I'm ready to tack weld, I'll replace the bungees with something more rigid.

Checking fit & position of one of the tubes for the fuse bottom312 viewsWhen I laid out the fuselage lines on the table I included the lines for the bottom members that would be in space above the table. These I marked in red ink. I marked the center line (CL) of the tube and also the forward edge of the tube.
