I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 21-Mar-16 20:07 Views : 366 I added a bit of cyano just above the hole and allowed it to flow through the thread via capillary action so as to minimize any chance of glue marks on the surface. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 21-Mar-16 20:04 Views : 384 Okay, bear with me on this. I cut a small section of (now) stiffened thread that was painted silver through a hole that was drilled apprx twice the diameter of the thread. Any tighter, I would need a needle to help guide it through. I'm using the stiffness of the thread as its own needle point. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 21-Mar-16 19:53 Views : 367 In stitching the fuselage sides, I decided to come up with an alternate route. This picture was posed to show how I added a small weight at the end of the thread, and painted the thread with spray paint. This does two things: it stiffens the thread and gives it a threaded cable appearance.

Then used a curved needle and threaded the stitching. Worked great on "Proof of Concept" but quickly discovered that the fuselage was too narrow for this method. Compounding all of this was the floor in the cockpit area supporting the rudder pedals and control column prevented access to the sides for the needle/thread route. So...

Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 21-Mar-16 19:39 Views : 366 Glued the sides together. In this picture, its just positioned prior to gluing.
