The top and bottom photo is the start of my fuselage. I
doubled the top,bottom, left and right side longerons. I stretched the fuse out to 172" in length, and out
to 30" wide.
The picture shone above shows the two fuse sides assembled and most of the support structure
in place.
The photos above show the plywood installed on the sides.
Here is the passenger cockpit area as seen from the front of the fuse looking back.
There really isn't much leg room but I discovered that if you cross your legs Indian style, the extra wide cockpit is actually
pretty comfortable.
This photo shows the pilots cockpit area. I added 12"s in length in
this area. This allows the pilot seat to be reclined @ 6 degrees. The pilot seat fits in the area
behind the rear spare shone in the bottom of this photo. I glued plywood across the front and rear spare forming
a deck. The rudder and brake controls will fit on top of the deck on the other side of the bulkhead.
The control stick will go through the rear spar, under the deck and connect to the ailerons with bearings and push-rods.
The aileron and control stick photos will come latter.
The two photos above show the bottom wings being fitted to the fuse.
When everything was square and the dihedral was set, I drilled the spars and installed the bolts.
This picture shows my method of squaring the bottom wings to the fuse before drilling
the attach bolt holes. If you enlarge this photo you can see that the top bubble in the level is not plum.
I fixed this before I drilled the holes.
