I've started welding up the fuselage.
Haven't notched and capped the lower longerons yet. MacKenzie has a diagram showing them notched, heated then hammered into place then welded. I could have sworn I saw a photo of a strap capping one longeron, crossing the back of the tailpost and then capping the other longeron.
How are most of you doing this ?
by the way... Idon't remember who it was that said it took them about 200 hours to get to the point of welding up a fuselage and I thought otherwise. My apologies to ya. It took me just over 200 hours, including the bungee truss.
