Default 42% Dalton 260 Build
Ok im starting up another build thread on the 42% 260.I start with the fuselage.Because all of the joints are light ply and hardwood in the fuselage I prefer to use wood glue for the constuction as it gives more time for the glue to penatrate than ca. Locate formers F3 through F7.
