Fuseslage

 

The fuseslage starts it life as sheet panel, it is then cut and predrilled on the cnc router.

wooden formers are used to hold the cut sheets whilst they are bent into the correct shape. The use of formers ensures that each and every part is reproduced accurately.

The bulkhead pieces are assembled on a steel spine, with each bulkhead adjusted to sit in the correct location. Stringers are riveted into place.

The skins are all then put on with temporary rivets, at each stage of assembly there is multiple checks done to maintain the correct alignment of the air frame.

The upper skins or turtle decks are then removed to allow the bulider access when assembling the kit.
