Stringers doubled on top. The nose is made from 1/2" balsa blocks. The section in front of the windshield is not on the plans. They say use a piece of 1/32" balsa to form it with no framework underneath.

I cut all the ribs cause the ones in the kit are on very thin balsa. I doubled the number of ribs and have added lots of extra wood. Plans call for only two spars.

The finished basic frame of the fuselage. About 2 1/2 hours this morning to go from the two side frames, to this point.

Fuse frame still pinned to the board, hopefully nice and square and true.
