| pfinn | Jetco Dayton-Wright RB-1 | Build | 27-Jan-11 11:30 |  | | Views : 625 | | I'm using the fuse jig with a "Top/Bottom" orientation. A temporary cross member adhered to each bulkhead flush (or parallel) to the waist keel formers. I've seen builders tack glue these cross members then use a solvent to remove them later. I used my Super Dilly Delux double stick tape instead. I've marked centerline and 2' offset on the cross members for alignment on the fixture. |

Vert stab profile is all Bass (to be sanded to taper thickness). Formers to be notched only at Keel junctures. I'm going to try building the fuselage on a "Jig". Never done it before. Something new for me. |

| pfinn | Jetco Dayton-Wright RB-1 | Build | 16-Jan-11 20:16 |  | | Views : 563 | | The scanned and then copied formers on the plan turned out to be distorted as well as some of the notches were quite off. I redrew them taking measurements off the side and top views to get the correct sizes and positions. |
| pfinn | Jetco Dayton-Wright RB-1 | Build | 16-Jan-11 20:11 |  | | Views : 561 | | The "Stix-It" actually sat for a couple days before I had a chance to heat bond them together. Worked fine. I also laminated the same matl's with white glue. The white glue yielded a more rigid plank. I believe that just a bit of "Resiliancy" or "Give" is a bit more durable. Hence my choice of using the S-I for these particular parts. |
