Chapter 5 - Fuselage sides - Part 1


My latest shipment of materials arrived today. I considered both ordering from Wicks and Aircraft Spruce. Wicks sold the 3/4" R45 foam in 48x24 peices, that would have required 4 sheets for both fuselage sides. Aircraft Spruce had the sheets in 48x32. Not only where Aircraft Spruce's sheets cheaper, I also only need 3 due to there larger size, this saved me almost $100.00.

Pictured is my table saw. A table saw might seem like overkill, but it made measuring and cutting quick, easy and accurate.

Also some of you may be happy to notice my work table is showing good signs of use. Compare with the almost spotless surface a couple of months ago.
