CAD modeling work:
Bruce Slater has been busy drawing up & adding fuselage monocoque sections & stringers to previously modeled fuselage jig & forward fuselage framework
monocoque fuselage framework & stringers – frames A to K

Fabrication of frames A to K
Ian Slater has been busy making patterns & form blocks for the fuselage frames, making sure each form has the required radius’s & clearances required or bending & forming the fuselage frames.
