SB Fuse Kit Arrival!

Yeah, now there's some serious metal!!! The empennage kit is wimpy compared to the boxes delivered today. My fuselage kit is in the shop awaiting my finishing of the rudder, elevators and trim tab! By this weekend, the rudder will be completed. Not too far off from starting the fuse. Even the inventory will be fun.

Roadway Express was the shipper and the boxes were in pristine condition (I am in Central VA). I highly recommend them. They arrived exactly at the appointed time, with the lift gate truck I had requested. I had two other flying buddies helping and in less than a half hour the boxes were inspected, off the truck and in the shop. A good day.
 
Building tip

When fluting and seaming the tailcone bulkheads, seam the flanges at approx 100 degrees, not 90, to the web to account for the taper of the fuselage. The book never says this.

Just sharing a duh moment,
Steve
