With the stringers and forward fuse doublers installed, it's time to sheet the fuselage sides. The fuse side sheets are 3/32" x 3" x 48"

3/16" x 3/16" forward bottom stringers were cut and glued into place making sure former F2 stayed plumb.

Once dried, two 1/18" balsa forward fuse duoublers were coerced into place. These were rock hard and required them to be wetted with warm water and a bit of massaging(as well as clamps) for them curve to the shape of the fuselage...

Able to get my Allen wrench on the servo screw. Note, my Allen wrench doesn't have the ball end which would make it even easier.

Plenty of clearance to get in and out.

Servo in tray, let's see if it's easily removable and if the servo screws are accessible...

I'd say the small improvements made the difference that I was looking for.

This should give a stronger joint without any weight penalty. Basically a win win situation...

I also ditched the servo trays and made two new ones. They will be epoxied into position, but not quite yet...

Not liking the a few things about the rudder and elevator tray location and set-up, so I decided to make a few changes/improvements. I relocated the servo tray rail moving it back as well as notching both side fuse doublers to hold the rail.

Gently tapped into position. Note: Its always a good idea to run a tap through each blind nut before installing them, or at least run a fastener through. You don't want to find out later that the thread has a burr in it an won't accept the fastener.

I have been holding all of my servos in place with cap head screws threaded into blind nuts for years without any failures. I'm not fond of using wood screws to hold servos in place. Here, I'm drilling holes to receive the 2-56 blind nuts.

Each blind nut is epoxied in place.

Corner stringers were added to fit the formers. These were cut from 1/2" tri-stock.

All of the formers were glued to the 1/8" plywood fuse doubler except the firewall doubler. Because of the additional stress placed on this former by the engine, 30 minute epoxy was used.

Just checking the angle with the firewall angle gauge to make sure it didn't move.

Before the stringer was glued into position I checked that the stringer didn't have a bow in it. I did have to take a small file and adjust a few of the formers to ensure that the stringer was straight. It's the small details like this that will ensure that your fuselage will be straight and strong.

I made sure that each former was dead plumb before I spread the epoxy. Also note that the top center stringer was added and glued into place.

The two 24" pushrod tubes were inserted through each former and epoxied into position.

Two 1/8" plywood fuse side doublers get glued to the right and left sides of the fuselage next. I decided to glue the left side on first (remember the fuse is upside down) using my blocks and clamps.

The blocks help spread the clamping load evenly.

Note that the centerline on each former is directly over the plan.

Once the left side dried, I glued on the right side. Here I'm using my clamps across the fuselage. All you need is a small amount of clamping pressure as too much will bow the formers.
