Re: 40% Extra 260: Own-design build thread
After cross bracing is installed I cut out and glued on additional reinforcements at each joint.

Re: 40% Extra 260: Own-design build thread
So now I am ready to start working on the underside. I intend to make it rounded like the Cardens are but will be using formers and sheeting instead of foam and sheeting. Here's where I realize I made an error on F3. I had to add a piece on both sided to keep the rounded shape from the bottom of the cowl- see the piece added as shown in the oval in the picture.

Re: 40% Extra 260: Own-design build thread
Glue the stringers in place, assemble sheeting, trim, sand and glue into place on both sides.

Re: 40% Extra 260: Own-design build thread
Next I began to build the bottom of the fuse from the engine box/landing gear plate back to the tail. As you can also see, by this time I had sanded the fuse sides and the bottom flush with the front of F2.

Re: 40% Extra 260: Own-design build thread
Nice thread Dave! Well thought out design. Seeing as how I've seen the finished product I'm really interested in seeing this build thread as it progresses.

Re: 40% Extra 260: Own-design build thread
With the tailwheel plate added, the bottom is mostly done and I can proceed to the top of the fuse.

Re: 40% Extra 260: Own-design build thread
Next, I drew up and cut out the turtledeck formers. Formers laid in place and stringers glued to formers. Note that the turtledeck formers are held back from the fuselage sides by the thickness of the turtledeck- 3/32" on both sides.
