Original prototype fuse you can see the smaller openings towards the rear

You can see here how they pass through the fuse.

I like to laminate the stringers here. Mostly balsa but the side the servo will screw too gets 1/8” hardwood

New fuse of current build. Here I hadn’t put the horizontal pieces in yet as I didn’t have the servos in hand to set the opening correctly.

Thanks for the info the two in the tail just ahead of the stabilizer, good to know. Like the way you add a small piece of hardwood on top some balsa to mount the servo neat efficient and with very little weight added.

Still have not had a chance to get back to the cad drawing but hopefully tomorrow. Make some changes and let you guys see it. Making progress slowly but that is what it is all about the journey.

Spent some time on the cad drawing again and changed the location of the front spar and moved it back as BalsaDust had suggested. Had move a few things around but all is good now. And just added another rib to support the servo in the wing.
