Dennis, The way I did it if I remember right, I jiged and clamped the frontof the fuse, putting in all of the cross bracesback to the rear seat where it starts to taper, then I pulled the tailtogether. The floor went on after.Make sure to use alignment marks and a midline for reference as your puttingit together.I didn't put the sides on untill I had the controls in. Makes installation awhole lot easier.Carl----- Original Message -----

Hi Everyone: I am at the stage of pulling my fuselage together and am not sure how to proceed,ie: what to do first and in what order. I will have the torque tube done by the end of the week or sooner and knowit has to go in when the seat backs do, but did you all glue in the backs andthen the bottom or what. I have built 2 X 4 L's with ply sides to keep the fuselage in alignment, butshould I glue on the 1/4" to the bottom and then pull it together or put inthe backs and then pull it together or what. Could someone give me a construction order?Dennis Engelkenjohnps.... it is a long fuselage model if it makes a difference.________________________________________________________________________________
