Work in progress - Chris Foss Middle Phase

From : Mike Broad

The photo shows the fuselage made up of ply sides (with longerons) plus balsa top and bottom before the front sides were drawn in and glued to the nose cone.
The sides are bent around formers, so I should have set up a simple jig at a very early stage to ensure that everything ended up straight.
I didn't - with the result that the fuselage is slightly banana-shaped.

Cost so far: Kit = £56.50 plus £9 p&p from RC Superstore.
Plus the usual glues and sandpaper.
