Lol. I'm going a different direction with mine though. Mine will be a 20cc profile version and its main purpose will be violent high energy 3D.

So basically it will be about the size of our stab!! LOL

This is as far as I had gotten before I started working on other builds I needed to knock out. Had a buddy use devwing to draw up the wing to the specs I wanted but everything else will be done by hand. A few things are changing on the wing as well such as I will be doing a double bevel on the hinge line and it's been suggested that I move the wing tube either forward or aft of the main spar.

We tend to use the high spot on the root for the tube if possible. Dev wing is a good program. I Like your drawing. Good luck with it

So while I decided to take the weekend off, Al came to the shop and got the fuse sides glued on. So now the basic structure of the fuselage is really coming together.
Picture #1A and 1B are some larger images of some previous posts Al showed how we went in and glued some of the cross bracing and also the Motorbox to the fuselage top plate. Again all this was done with Titebond as you can see the bottle in the picture.
After the motorbox was glued to the Top plate we were ready to move onto the fuselage sides. So in the following section here are some pictures of mounting both the fuselage sides.
Picture #2 shows the top plate as a back bone of the fuselage.
Picture #3 show the first fuselage side being glued and mounted to the fuselage.
Picture #4 shows the fuse side from the outside where you can see all the places it tabs into the formers.
Picture #5 show how you glue in the Fuselage floors before gluing the second side onto the fuse. The floors are not required but they do a great job of adding stiffness those sections and give you tons of options for mounting your receiver, batteries, etc.. later on. Also The fuselage doublers are notched for them to fit in between the doubler and 3/8" longeron.
Picture #6 shows a top shot of both trays installed in the airplane.
Picture #7 is the tail wheel mounting plate being installed between the F8 former and Tail post. The middle former is not a full former, it is just an additional support former the tail wheel mounting plate.

So one of our local customers ordered a MX2 competition Series last week and picked up the foam parts on Thursday night and the wood parts to complete the kit yesterday. Here is a picture of what he as done in less then 24 hours on the fuse.
Not to mention that he has the stabs and rudder already sheeted because he did that over the weekend.
