Checking fit & position of one of the tubes for the fuse bottom261 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.
