Still more to come

At this point, I wanted to see how my wing saddle was as far as the
 incidence of the wing was.  I am aiming for a more or less 0 incidence for
 all of my flying surfaces.  So after doing some sanding in the wing
 saddle, I clamped the two fuse sides in my table-top vice and balanced
 the wing in it for a trial-fit and to see what the incidence was.  Not
 too bad…the incidence meter is reading a positive ½ degree.  I can
 live with that.  If after flying with this ½ degree I decide I do not
 like it, it will be a simple thing to shim the trailing edge to get the
 incidence to 0.

Now to put the fuse together.  While I had the two pieces of fuse sides  taped together,	I added the 3/16 square stock to the top and bottom of  the fuse.  Then I cut the notches in the bulkheads and trial fit them.
After clamping the fuse together,	I wanted to check the incidence of  the elevator stab.  Looks pretty good to me.
So I added the glue and reclaimed the fuse together and let her cure.	Now it’s time to sheet the top and bottom of the fuse.  When doing  this, always have the grain of the sheeting going cross wise to the fuse  sides.  This aides in strengthening the fuse and assisting with keeping  twist out.

Then I cut the holes for the ruder	and elevator servos.
Time to add the wing dowel and	drill the hole in the F-1 former.
