The next step is to install the safety net. I cut out the template part 57 from page 3 and carefully cut some cheesecloth to make the net. However, when installing it I found it to be difficult to put in the proper location, and when I got it in place, it looked very sloppy, and detracted from the other equipment installed in the mid seciton. In the end, I decided to remove it and not to install the net at all.

With the decision not to install the net, the next step was to attach the back wall of the mid section (part 2 with all the attached subassemblies). I first applied glue to the inner wall seam only, placed the part in place, and stacked a dictionary on top of it for weight to make sure there were no gaps in the seam due to slight bends and warps of part 2. After drying, I followed up with spot gluing the various structural supports outside the cabin walls to hold them in place.

Although I decided not to install the net, I am adding the part to the part count. Thus the current part count is 73.
